You might want to read what Mike Erwin said earlier in the thread: 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. That sounds like a bit of a show stopper. -- Stephen Swaney [email protected] _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
