          Or use prebuilt one from

          put it into external/unowinreg using your browser or a command
equivalent to:

Is this really needed for Linux builds of the ODK?

If you want to build an ODK that can run on windows then this DLL is needed. As the error message says you can build this DLL from scratch or you can download the pre-built library from [1].

For some background info please see the thread around [2].

I usually take the pre-built binary blob and put it into main/external/unowinreg/ as suggested by the error message.

It isn't mentioned in our build information.

The unowinreg.dll blob is mentioned as a prerequisite in [3].
