Yes, that works. The repository only contains „buildpspp4windows.pl“. I had 
recovered and guessed some more files which are in

https://github.com/fredowski/pspp-buildbot/tree/master/win

The files that I created in that „win“ directory and which I have not taken 
from your setup are 

„buildssw-win.sh“ and
"get-results-win.sh“ 

where „get-results-win.sh“ is pretty buildbot specific. It would be nice if as 
much as possible stuff, e.g. the „used-in-build“ files would be together in one 
git repository. I have three more files which are win specific:

https://github.com/fredowski/pspp-buildbot/blob/master/prepare_win.sh

which installs all the build environment except spread-sheet-widget ,

https://github.com/fredowski/pspp-buildbot/blob/master/create_win_vm.sh

which creates the lxc container but more or less only calls „prepare_win.sh“ and

https://github.com/fredowski/pspp-buildbot/blob/master/run_win.sh

which calls „build-ssw-win.sh“ and „buildpspp4windows.pl“ and does the actual 
build.

Maybe we can move the „prepare_win.sh“ script also to your repo. I think it is 
not
buildbot related - it should also work on a plain opensuse 15.2 installation.

Do I remember correctly that you use a virtualbox vm in your build setup? Maybe 
you can
have a look at lxc containers which I found very nice. Once the setup for user 
lxc containers
is done on the host machine, it is really easy to create the vm from a script 
(=> create_win_vm.sh).

Mmh. I do not remember any question about patches. I saw your patch support in 
„buildpspp4windows.pl“ but I have not used it as I did not find any patches.
