[tei-council] Guidelines Building

[Martin Holmes]

The full list of what you need to install to get a working build 
environment can be deduced from the Jenkins Builder Script:

<http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Documents/Editing/Jenkins/jenkins_builder_script_2012.sh>

That of course includes Jenkins itself, and some ancillary bits and 
pieces that Jenkins needs, but it should be easy to figure out which 
bits are required and which aren't.

This is becoming a persistent issue, though, so I think we should 
address it. When I start rewriting my Jenkins builder script next year 
for the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release, I could create another one alongside 
it which is intended for Council members wanting to build locally. It 
would also be based on the LTS version, but could be updated for every 
Ubuntu release, since we tend to dist-upgrade our desktops and laptops 
more frequently than our servers. Does that sound like a good idea?

Of course, it wouldn't help Windows and Mac users.

Cheers,
Martin
