automate Windows development environment setup #23

Closed rakslice closed 3 years ago

rakslice commented 4 years ago

It would be nice to have automated set up build environments suitable for development on, for reasons:

Devops tools for this such as Vagrant are available. Vagrant supports Windows guests, so in theory this could be done for Windows; I have no experience with Windows guests in Vagrant.

Licensing requirements and avoiding sketchy unverified prebuilt system images are a concern; maybe look at the stuff Microsoft provides for web testing: https://app.vagrantup.com/Microsoft/ as a starting point

But generally, Vagrant runs on all sorts of platforms; my hope is that if there's a super convenient way to prepare a Windows development environment it's more likely that people hacking on this on other platforms actually do the corresponding stuff on the Windows side for their changes and not have the macemu project once again get into the state where the Windows part of the codebase is broken and unbuildable for years
