My progress got stopped by a combination of Christmas preparations, work
towards an Apache River release, and extreme discouragement. Each time I
solved a problem, another one cropped up, and I was not confident in all
the decisions I had made along the way.
I expect to have more time for OO over the next few months. I think a
clean, repeatable build process would be very useful in attracting and
keeping developers. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installations, as
well as a couple of Linux boxes, so along with your Windows 10 we should
be able to cover most of the ground.
Before we get too deeply into this, I would like to understand why we
are using a 32-bit Cygwin-based process.

Patricia,
I've been meaning to ping you about progress on building AOO on
Windows.
As much as I don't want to go through the whole POSIX/Cygwin route
and also find a way to use Visual Studio Express 2008 on my Windows
10 system (which is already dedicated to Visual Studio 2015 Community
Edition), I think this is acute in order to find a better way to
build native code on Windows for Windows and smooth the on-ramp for
new developers.
I am willing to do that, but I need buddies to work through it with.
I do document and trouble-shoot well.
What can we do together to get a clean, repeatable build process that
can then be improved?

This may be a good project for me to participate in, along with
people who know AOO internals. I have a lot of practical experience
with tracking down and fixing extremely obscure intermittent bugs
in operating systems and prototypes of cache coherent
multiprocessor servers, so I'm not scared of them.
Now getting AOO to build on Windows 8.1......
