Each time, I have asked them to update the wiki to provide better, more current instructions on how to get GNU Radio built on Windows. And each time, very little has occurred to do this. In large part, stuff like this happens when we have users motivated to help. Right now, the core of our developers are Linux with others mainly on OS X. No one really has the skills, interests, or time to work on full Windows support. On the other hand, I think that lacking easy Windows support might put off more Windows developers that could then lead to this kind of support. In the end, we need someone to help close this gap to get people up and running faster. hinthintnudgenudgewinkwink Tom > I would say though that's the process is enormously painful!
