Thanks for the update. I tried getting gnucash to build on windows 7 in a virtualbox VM so I could look into this and other issues, but performace was horrible. Configuring and compiling a single dependency took hours. Apparently this is somewhat expected even without the VM because fork isn't cheap on windows, but I am wondering what others have found. Are things any better with the official vmware builder? Or has anyone tried and had better luck with KVM instead of virtualbox? I have also read that Windows 7 may have msys performance issues, so I am not entirely sure what to change first. Or maybe avoiding it all and cross compiling is the best answer.
