Re: Triggering "Windows Build" job

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Hi Ivan

We have a limited number of machines for our build-jobs. Therefore only
when we set the merge-request to a semi-done level, buildjobs are
triggered. What you can do though, is run your own pipeline, and use our
.gitlab-ci.yml file as a template.

At this point we do not plan on making the builders available to everyone.
But if you submit your changes, we can trigger it for you.

Btw, as a Mac & Linux user myself, I keep a virtualbox around just for that
purpose. To be able to build Wireshark. It is not required, but certainly
helps. Also, building Wireshark on your local Linux machine with a clang
compiler instead of gcc, will also identify most issues with the Microsoft
VS compilers (as was my experience in the past)

kind regards
Roland
