This cookbook now uses the new msys2 based compiler toolchain on windows. Both 32-bit DW2 and 64-bit SEH based toolchains are available based on the gcc 5.3x series compiler. By default these are located in C:\msys2\mingw32 and C:\msys2\mingw64
The cookbook now ships with a 12.5+ style custom resource 'build_essential' which performs the same work that the existing default.rb recipe. The default.rb recipe has been converted to consume that resource to provide backwards compatibility for users that use build-essential::default in their run lists or cookbooks. In converting to this custom resource support for EOL omnios has been removed and warning messages for Solaris 10 users have been removed. See the readme for usage information on the new resource.
This cookbook now requires Chef 12 or later as it includes the new mingw cookbook for installing Windows compilers. Mingw includes 12.5 style custom resources, which will fail to compile on Chef 11. If you are not running Chef 12 you'll need to pin to 3.x in your environment.
This version backs out a change in the 3.0 release which attempted to install the version of kernel-devel for the current running kernel on RHEL systems. This change had several unintended consequences and we believe the best solution is to back to change out until a better solution for the original problem is developed. Several of the issues could be resolved by code updates to build-essential, but not all, which complicates rolling forward vs. a roll back. The change caused issues which Chefspec runs on cookbooks where build-essential is a dependency as Fauxhai, used by Chefspec, does not mock out node['virtualization']. Fauxhai is being updated to mock out node['virtualization'], but we'd like to make sure a ChefDK release ships with this new Fauxhai before depending on that change.
