[deepamehta-users] Build on Windows

[Asif M]

Thanks Jrg,

That was helpful.

I had to additionally remove the newline between each entry of
<felix.fileinstall.dir> ... </felix.fileinstall.dir>. So essentially it is
now a long-string of comma-separated entries.

Not sure if that is specific to my setup or a generic problem on windows.

Progressing to next step :)

Kind Regards,
Asif
