Re: Considering taking on Windows port

[Morten Welinder <mortenw gnome org>]

The problem is not so much Gnumeric as it is the dependencies.
They keep changing causing the necessary patching to break.

In tools/win32 there is code that in principle makes it possible
to do "make release module=gnumeric" for the compilation
and "make release target=installer" for the installer.

This is with cross-compilation from Linux.  (Not actually true
cross compilation as various parts of glib and gtk+ require
that the resulting binaries can be run.  However, the kernel
and Wine generally makes that work without effort.)
