Windows build procedure

[Robert Fewell]

John,
Now built unstable and created exe and installed, side note
bundle-mingw64.ps1 needs changing on line 134 to use 'GNC_VCS_REV'

Still have the same problems, used dll walker on libgncmod-aqbanking.dll
and it was missing libgwengui-gtk3.dll, copied that from the
unstable/build/bin directory to c:\....gnucash\bin and that satisfied the
dll walker. Started gnucash but still got the same error, maybe I should of
walked on the libgwengui-gtk3.dll

The preference error is to do with the gtk_file_chooser which may relate to
the last error below, you also get the same thing by trying file/open

Will look at the missing icon later.

Full Trace file below...
* 15:59:50  WARN <gnc.module> Failed to dlopen() 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin\libgncmod-aqbanking.dll': 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin\libgncmod-aqbanking.dll': The specified module could not
be found.
* 15:59:50  WARN <gnc.gui> [gnc_load_app_icons()] No icon named
'gnucash-icon' found. Some gui elements may be missing their icons
* 16:00:06  WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute
helper program (Invalid argument)
* 16:00:14 OTHER <GLib-GIO> Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser'
is not installed


Regards,
Bob
