Good luck - you'll need to use NSIS, an installer-builder that runs on Windows only. Mingw32 is able to build C/C++ source into Windows PE-format executables and it comes with its own Microsoft-compatible header files and lib files, but it cannot replace the toolchain currently used. You should be able to use it to build freenet.exe (last time I tried using gcc to compile it was admittedly over a year ago but little has changed since then). I don't know about NodeConfig.exe, or the minor tool-lets like findjava. But you can't use it to build the webinstaller or the monolithic installer. I'd be very surprised if there existed any cross-builder capable of creating windows installers, in fact, as none of the installer-builders I know of generate C code (they all run on Windows only and directly generate the .exe file themselves) d _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
