Description Lars Vogel CLA 2018-04-04 03:41:18 EDT 
Leo recently added a readme for building the windows natives via Bug 532729, which was very useful to me.

I suggest we add also a readme for building the Linux natives.

Leo, can you take this one?

Yea, we'd really benefit from such a read me.

I'll look into this.

Lars, I would appreciate if you do this one. It is best if it's done by someone that doesn't do it on daily basis.
Comment 5 Lars Vogel CLA 2018-06-14 09:35:03 EDT

Do you write a Readme Eric? Maybe I can provide something since I coincidental build SWT natives the first time on Linux this week.

I was going to but please go ahead, your first time perspective will be more valuable since I've done it many many times. Feel free to add me to the Gerrit once you have something!
