Yes, I'm sure Python does build on win, but I've not tried. Some gimp plugins use it, so you probably need to spend some time experimenting (unless google turns up a handy howto). > 2) Where do I install/unzip the all the auto tools?

But I don't know if they include the versions that GIMP needs, so you might need to uninstall them and build your own. You'll also need intltoolize I think, and maybe some other stuff. I'd install everything that wasn't an official mingw or msys package to /usr/local/ to make it easy to wipe if something goes wrong. (I don't know if this is an option for you, and I know how annoying being told "install linux! problem solved!" is, but building under linux really is 100x easier than mingw. You could put something like Ubuntu on a spare partition in 15 minutes, and have a working gimp-from-cvs build not long after that) John _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
