The current keyboard code (by jesterking I think) and upcoming 3D mouse support (by me) both rely on the Windows RawInput API, which only works on XP or newer. Far as I know, that is the only hard technical reason blocking a Win2000 build.
As a fellow user of perfectly fine retro systems, I sympathize. But as a developer, I would rather make a MacOS 8.6 version than Win2000. > The main issue for us is having someone to be the platform maintainer. > They will also need to do some testing and likely need to create > patches to keep the code running on their box, as well as doing > release builds. > If no one steps up to do this, it will not happen.

Just fair warning before anyone tries to just build and have it work. -- Mike Erwin musician, naturalist, pixel pusher, hacker extraordinaire _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
