Really? I always kind of thought building on Windows was comparatively
easy ... no scratching together all dependencies (there's a single
package for that), and either open up the VC project and hit it or, in
case of MinGW, 'configure' etc. (what you have to do with about every
other open source project).
I know some projects/dependencies which are a _much_ bigger hassle to
set up ;p
Yeah, building on windows is a piece of cake.
We don't have SDK builds because nobody does them, not because it's
difficult :P
For people who just quickly want to try out Crystal Space or run a few
demos, building from source is still a pretty high overhead. Even if it
is as simple as hell, the compilation time alone might turn a lot of
potential Crystal Space users off. This might also be a reason why
Ogre3D, with their supplied all-in-one binary SDKs, has such a big
following of users.
