Hi Michael,
This looks amazing! Last time I built for Windows was ~16 months ago
...
It was a horrible mess of dependencies installations in Cygwin & really
really
slow process.
Does this change anything ? Or do I still need Cygwin + all the
dependencies
in order to build it on Windows?
I saw an awesome project to help create a Visual-Studio 2013 project,
but I
am guessing that's just for editing & symbols, not for building nativly on
Windows,
right ?
Best,
Adam

hello developers (and especially tinderbox maintainers),
on master since a week ago, builds with a native Win32 make should work
and are substantially faster than the old Cygwin make, both for
from-scratch builds and incremental rebuilds.
you can have a faster Windows build too, by using the following file:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~mst/make-85047eb-msvc.exe
and adding a line to autogen.input:
MAKE=C:/path/to/make.exe
(or just copy it to /opt/lo/bin/make)
note: this only works on master; release branches for 4.3 and older
require Cygwin make.
for details on how to build GNU make from source, and how much speed-up
to expect, see:
