Very cool project! I'll try this out on my Windows computer.
Thanks :)
Now if only we could make something like this for Windows VMs :)
Yeah, it just looked a lot harder to build Inkscape on Windows so I aimed for Linux :)
But in theory, to make it happen, you would modify two sections of the Vagrantfile:
1. the "box" property: config.vm.box = "janihur/ubuntu-1404-desktop" ... to point to some Win7 image or similar.
2. The "SHELL" script. This would be re-written to be a .bat file which does similar to what the bash script is doing now. Have no idea how though, and I would guess it's *a lot* harder, as you cannot even install a compiler simply in Windows, and there is no packaging support, and the list goes on...

Hi Inkscape list!
I've worked on a Vagrantfile* over the past few months, that is able to bring up a virtual build- and test machine for Inkscape. The VM is
running
on Lubuntu linux (lightweight Ubuntu) so you can actually run the
inkscape
binary produced by the build. You can, of course, modify the Inkscape
source
code within the VM, and rebuild.
So if you got Vagrant and VirtualBox up and running, creating a
development
environment for Inkscape is just a "vagrant up" away. Because of this,
it is
relatively simple to develop Inkscape regardless on what OS&machine you
are
on, be it Windows, Mac or Linux - as long as you can install VirtualBox
and
Vagrant you are good to go.
I'd love feedback and/or pull requests.

- The Vagrantfile is the "recipe" used to build a VM using Vagrant.
Vagrant
automates the creation and management of virtual machines on a computer.
It
supports VM ware, VirtualBox and more.
