None of the core developers perhaps, but I do, and I've been feeding in tweaks along the way for a long time. The net result is that, on a non-Vista win32 system, it you develop within an Msys shell, it really does Just Work, exactly as you'd expect on a proper POSIX setup. And even Vista works, if you add the manifest files to get install/patch to work. Coming from a stongly unix background, it does make developing on windows very easy - the same Makefiles work for me on linux, OSX and win32. Which is very handy indeed, I must say. I'm on my Vista test box now, and I've just done a "configure / make / make install" of Matthias' 1.1.9-rc1 candidate and it all seems to be working very nicely indeed so far. Almost works like a real computer! Cheers, -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
