Development under Windows

[Nathan Buchanan]

Hi Youssef!

That link shows you the fastest way to get up and running. The script
mentioned there brings down and installs the gcc compiler, a build
environment, all the gnucash dependencies, the latest source code from the
repository, and then does a build of gnucash. You could, of course, set up
all this manually - but it's far harder.

The version compiled will not be installed in your programs directory,
rather it will be compiled into c:\soft\gnucash (by default). to make an
installer, additional steps are needed.

Once the first build is made, you can easily modify the source code and
either run install.sh again or type make/any other commands that you might
wish.
