154- I started with a clean XP install with Service Pack 2 and all patches applied.
155- I have already compiled all the dependencies you need for gdal, expat etc,
156- so this tutorial wont cover compiling those from source too. Since compiling
157- these dependencies was a somewhat painful task I hope my precompiled libs
158- will be adequate. If not I suggest you consult the individual projects for
159- specific build documentation and support. Lets go over the process in a nutshell
160- before we begin:
161-
162- * Install XP (I used a Parallels virtual machine)
163- * Install Visual Studio Express 2005 sp1
164- * Install the Microsoft Platform SDK
165- * Install command line subversion client
166- * Install library dependencies bundle
167- * Install Qt 4.3.2
168- * Check out QGIS sources
169- * Compile QGIS
170- * Create setup.exe installer for QGIS

1521+
1522+ I started with a clean XP install with Service Pack 2 and all patches applied.
1523+ I have already compiled all the dependencies you need for gdal, expat etc,
1524+ so this tutorial wont cover compiling those from source too. Since compiling
1525+ these dependencies was a somewhat painful task I hope my precompiled libs
1526+ will be adequate. If not I suggest you consult the individual projects for
1527+ specific build documentation and support. Lets go over the process in a nutshell
1528+ before we begin:
1529+
1530+ * Install XP (I used a Parallels virtual machine)
1531+ * Install Visual Studio Express 2005 sp1
1532+ * Install the Microsoft Platform SDK
1533+ * Install command line subversion client
1534+ * Install library dependencies bundle
1535+ * Install Qt 4.3.2
1536+ * Check out QGIS sources
1537+ * Compile QGIS
1538+ * Create setup.exe installer for QGIS
1539+
