Wow - thanks everyone!! Although I doubt that I'll be doing any heavy OS-specific code, it makes me happy to see that I had two visitors with Vista in 2006. I hate seeing "UNKNOWN".

So start your downloads | with 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/), a free software file archiver tool | for Windows | http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z442.exe?download. | | Run 7z442.exe to install 7-Zip. | | Then download the MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) tools to compile | Analog | | You need 4 of these: | MinGW Runtime: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz?download | Windows API: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32api-3.6.tar.gz?download | binutils: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz?download | GCC: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?downl | oad | | Extract all of the above to C:\MinGW | | (in 7-Zip, double-click on the tar.gz file to see the .tar "tarball". | Double-click on the .tar file to see the contents. Select everything | in the | tarball, and hit the Extract icon. Tell 7-Zip to extract to C:\MinGW. | binutils and GCC have some name collisions, but just let 7-Zip | overwrite the | existing files). | | C:\>dir C:\MinGW /ogd | Volume in drive C has no label. | Volume Serial Number is 1UB5-431A | | Directory of C:\MinGW | | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> . | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> .. | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> bin | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> doc | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> include | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> info | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> lib | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> libexec | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> man | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> mingw32 | 12/18/2000 04:47 PM 17,992 COPYING | 01/29/2001 08:30 AM 26,430 COPYING.LIB | 2 File(s) 44,422 bytes | 10 Dir(s) 81,292,320,760 bytes free | | Now you need to install a shell that you can use MinGW under: | | Download MSys from http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download | | Run MSYS-1.0.10.exe and follow the prompts: | | This will install "Minimal SYStem".
