Building launchers on Windows

[dolanoadriano]

We can not build the build.sh file by Linux bash (installed on Windows 10) because we have a Java version for Windows.

How to build launchers for Windows?

Hi,

you can using Alex Kashchenko Dev-Kit and uninstall java on Windows 10:

This Dev-Kit uses the old mercurial repository and is therefore obsolete. You need to set the environment variable JRE to your Java runtime (your Windows drives should be automatically be mounted under /mnt) an then run mvn -Plaunchers install. But in the current master the build does not work. See #306

The build environment for launchers - both rust and shell - are build in cygwin. I was never trying other apporaches.

@daddyaddy @lherschi is the current build working for you? I had revisited it, and fixed few bugs. However, it is still depndent on cygwin. I belive, it will require only small chages to make it alive under linux subsystem for windows. Morover only get rid of cygoath, which is use donly on two places. Thoughts?

Yes, the current build works for me.
