[Vm-dev] instructions for building on Windows

[Nicolas Cellier]

Hi Peter,
if you want to reproduce appveyor build to the letter, then you need same
level of pre-installed tools
I don't know where is maintained the official and current configuration,
but I found this
http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/suggestions/427-pre-install-cygwin

That would be first:

setup-x86.exe -qnNdO -R C:/cygwin -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
-l C:/cygwin/var/cache/setup -P autoconf -P automake -P bison -P
gcc-core -P gcc-g++ -P mingw-runtime -P mingw-binutils -P
mingw-gcc-core -P mingw-gcc-g++ -P mingw-pthreads -P mingw-w32api -P
libtool -P make -P python -P gettext-devel -P gettext -P intltool -P
libiconv -P pkg-config -P git -P wget -P curl

I don't have time yet to try a complete reinstall, but if you can come
up with a completely scripted and reproducible solution, it's more
than welcome!

Best
