Scribus is currently built against a commercial release of Qt3 . Once the Qt 4 port is completed this may no longer be necessary (though as the free Qt4 for Windows only supports MinGW that's not certain). I tried getting Scribus to build with CMake under Windows a while ago, but ran into persistent linkage issues with the required libraries. I now have a bit more experience with win32 development so I'm planning on having another go at it after my exams finish. Even then, no promises, and it'd also require the QtWin/Free port of Qt3/X11 that has some known problems. In short, it's currently non-trivial at best to build Scribus under win32 and no build instructions exist as yet. -- Craig Ringer
