Russ,
Yes, I have it working and of course it works on the nightly builds VM too.
Getting things set up sometimes has issues because I don’t run
setup-mingw64.ps1 very often.
`jhbuild -f jhbuildrc build` won’t work unless you ran `export
TARGET=gnucash-stable` first. I usually combine them, e.g.
`TARGET=gnucash-stable jhbuild -f jhbuildrc build`.
Make sure that you’ve started the right shell: It works only in a MINGW32
shell. The MSYS2 and MINGW64 shells don’t set the path correctly.
If that doesn’t work try running `buildserver\build_package.ps1 -branch
stable`. Sometimes the MINGW32 shell environment gets a little out of whack.
The Powershell script is able to exert a bit more control on the environment
and is more reliable.
Regards,
John Ralls
