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...
