Re: Building --without-gui

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Ben,

I have made the crossbuild with lxc containers. That works quite

Here is how to create the build environment in an lxc container

https://github.com/fredowski/pspp-buildbot/blob/master/create_win_vm.sh

The overall buildbot control including Harrys machine:

https://github.com/fredowski/pspp-buildbot/blob/master/master/master.cfg#L136

Harrys build script of the bundle:
