Quick pointers, anyone?
Ok, you need to install Python, Scons (which is a Python program), and a C++ compiler (you could try the Windows one, or the GNU compiler). http://www.python.org http://www.scons.org Then, to compile Quacker, the GUI component, you need Qt 4 from Trolltech: http://www.trolltech.com You can download the non-commercial version and use it for free. In order to compile programs that use Qt, you'll need the MinGW C++ compiler. The Qt installer will install MinGW for you if you don't already have it. When you've installed all this, then just follow the instructions in the README file of Quackle to build it. It was a doddle to build on Linux (although it took a long time, because I had to build Qt 4 from source). Yahoo!
