I thought those people who know how to operate MinGW also have a copy of Linux around to do some development. But you are right, I think that a MinGW port would be a good thing. Unfortunately, I guess that only people with a lot of experience with these issues like Tor or Hans will be able to solve the problems. Like you, I gave up on this and bought the MSVC copy... BTW: I also had problems with the MSVC compilation at the beginning. But things definitely got easier over the last years. Lars, Hans, what do you think about financing MSVC 6 copies for developers that are interested and submit some patches? I got mine through Ebay and we should be able to pay these things from the donation account. > Also, Windows/Mac developers are much more comfortable with Subversion > than CVS because TortoiseSVN makes life so easy. No command lines to I think I can help you with this one: Try TortoiseCVS, which was the father of TortoiseSVN, if I understood things correctly: http://tortoisecvs.sourceforge.net/ But again, I have to agree to you, I prefer Subversion over CVS especially when it comes to checking in binary files like PNGs and moving them from LINUX to Win32 or vice versa.
