Clarification of "How to build the XAMPP installers" for Windows #19

Open duncanjdavis opened 1 year ago

duncanjdavis commented 1 year ago

The Readme shows instructions for how to build from source of Linux/OSX and how to build the installer for Linux/OSX/Windows. However, some things are unclear.

When building the Windows version, does the build process still need to be executed on a Linux OS via Docker? Do the Windows binaries need to be built from source (if so, what are the steps to do so?) or are prebuilt binaries used (if so, where are these downloaded from?)? Are there any particular naming conventions needed for the files placed in the tarballs directory?

For building the Windows installer, it is not needed the compilation step, you can start from the How to build the xampp installers directly. The binaries comes from the official websites like PHP or MariaDB itself. You can also download all the binaries from SourceForge. I hope it helps
