Hi all,

 

I've been using Windows 7 and TexLive 2012 with the pre-compiled Gregorio
(http://download.gna.org/gregorio/releases/2.0/gregorio-setup.exe) for some
time now.  I have all the TexWorks bug-a-boos worked out.  I have a pretty
good system going, and as much as I value the convenience and simplicity of
some of the Gregorio interfaces around on the web, I like the level of
detail with which I've been able to operate with my own setup.

 

But I'd like to start using the latest SVN version - particularly to take
advantage of the "centering-scheme" feature.  I have some PC programming
background from long ago - but really got any Linux experience.  so I'm no
stranger to the world of programming and compiling, but it's been a while
and this particular landscape is completely foreign to me.

 

So, I installed Cygwin (with all the supplementary packages shown to be
required http://home.gna.org/gregorio/installation-windows-advanced, as well
as 'subversion'). 

I followed the instructions for getting the svn version and compiling it
(http://home.gna.org/gregorio/installation-linux). I found the gregorio.exe
it put out in the C:\cygwin\bin directory and copied it (along with all the
DLLs it screamed for) into my C:\texlive\2012\bin\win32 directory -
replacing the gregorio.exe from the precompiled version I had been using.

 

At a command prompt this gregorio.exe will run enough to give the parameter
descriptions, but it fails when running on GABC files - and obviously it
fails with TexWorks as well.

 

So a couple of questions/comments.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there
something simple I'm missing?  Also, I know that those working on this do it
out of the goodness of their hearts, but it's been two years since a
pre-compiled PC version of Gregorio was put up.  is it really necessary to
make non-Linux people go through the compiling process to get access to the
latest features/fixes?  Can't we just keep a compiled version of the latest
SVN available somewhere for easy download?

 

Thanks for any help!
