Hi Olof,

I am trying this option right now and it seems that it will work. So +1 for this! However, since this solution only applies for the version 10 of Windows... and we would like, I believe, to make this more uniform experience.. what would you say if we document a way, in Inkscape wiki, for windows users to download a certain version of Ubuntu (16 or 17, for now) and configure it on Oracle Virtual Box?

How is this seen by Inkscape project? Is it ok if I separate a lot of programs and put then in a Dropbox/MegaUpload account with the links to download? Sort of a Inkscape-Website-Windows-Bundle-SDK-ish? ;-)

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Victor you could also try the Linux subsystem for Windows 10:

Guess it depends on what is in those scripts if it will work.

Possibly you may want to look at how to run a Linux virtual machine on
Windows, and run the commands inside that.
