Correct. Windows 10 + Virtual Box + Ubuntu 16.04 LTS + a poor old very
low performance machine.
I'm spending all my money in diving equipment so no money for faster HW ;-)

But where Rick is right: I'm only interested in the resulting windows
build and I will mainly (only) test this.

BTW: @Dirk: Your last hint about how to update the pull request - for
the moment too less info for an inexperienced guy like me. I will look
at this on Wednesday again and try to learn this as well...


MfG
Stefan
