Build help - Windows

[Steve Maher]

Thanks Tormod.

I've had some versioning problems with gcc, etc. on my 14.04 Virtual Box
installs.  travis.sh has a blind downloadgcc' option. I'd love to know the
Right Way to automate (download/build) using travis.sh from a vanilla
14.04.  Set downloadgcc=1 in the script?  Anything else?

Thanks,

Steve
