Re: [Gimp-developer] Windows builds using MSYS2

[john smith <kingstonflat gmail com>]

FYI: There is a vagrant project for GIMP development here
https://github.com/samrocketman/vagrant-gimp

For those that aren't aware, vagrant allows you to describe a virtual
machine and what is on it, then with one command ("vagrant up") you
end up with a virtual machine as specified.

I'm not sure if this one targets Win builds or not but it is fairly
trivial to extend it to ensure that all the correct packages are
available on the path.

Using vagrant to provision a VM like this lowers the barrier to entry
to developing/hacking on GIMP and saves people time on getting
dependencies configured correctly.
