building gda-dev2 on windows XP Pro SP2

[karimb at comcast.net]

Ok, I can now  build the gda-dev2 branch on my system.  Thanks for the help on that.

I then ran the dist.sh script to build the setup.exe, I had to add the following to the prepare function:

    _LIBGDA_UDIR=`unix_path $LIBGDA_DIR`

to get dist.sh to run.

I installed the setup.exe and gnucash runs but I'm not sure how to get it to use a GDA connection.  I don't even know how to configure a gda connection.

Is there documentation somewhere about setting this up?  I'd like to run with mySQL but I'd work with sqllite if that's easier to setup.

Thanks,
karim b
