[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Compilation on Windows

[rnathreddy at sanasw.com]

Dear Jürgen,

Thank you very much for your quick reply.  I have been struggling from 
the past one month, installing multiple times on multiple machines. I 
couldn't succeed.

As I understand

   1) Use the QGIS version 3.16 repository
   2) Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 compiler
   3) Use the up to date Osgeo4w repositories using 
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/testing/osgeo4w-setup.exe


I will try with the above and get back to you any query.


Thank you once again. Appreciate your help in this regard.


Regards
Raghunath
