[GNC-dev] Fresh Windows build setup fails

[Robert Fewell]

John,
Yes I did amend jhbuildrc.

Had another poke at it, I ran the setup-mingw64.ps1 file again using all
defaults to completion.
pkg-config gives said out put.
Down graded cmake to version 3.18.4-1
Installed mingw pkg-config which uninstalled pkgconf.

Changed to gnucash-on-windows.git and tried jhbuild command
got error importing jhbuild - needed to change path.insert to be of form
c:\\gcdev64\src\jhbuild.git'

Changing that then gave the subprocess error
I then made all the changes in mypatch file which seemed to work but I then
got the following directory structure c\gcdev64\downloads and gnucash....

So I changed  jhbuildrc to the following
_basedir = "c:\gcdev64"
_download_dir ="c:\gcdev64\downloads"

And now OpenSP was downloaded and started to configure and build I think
and then errored.

That's as far I can go.

Regards,
Bob
