The hardest part of it is getting all the dependencies installed and up do date.The same went for cygwin, but stuff its installer wanted to download for this simple task was huge.As an upside, it does offer a GUI installer. I think this dispute boils down to what one has already set up. Its the same amount of trouble for both and the result depending on cgywin if you use that. Making native building easyer on windows IMHO boils down to offering a prepackaged MSYS/Mingw env with up do date libs in place for drop-in use. -- --Alexia ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The build system works like with most other open source programs (excluding Mozilla and OpenOffice.org). If you know how to build one of those programs, you can build the rest of them in the same way. Additionally, there are hand-generated makefiles provided for MSVC, though I have never tried using them. As for why I'm using Linux to build instead of MSys, it's speed - when I went from MSys to Interix, the compile time approximately halved, and going from Interix to Linux on VMWare again speeded up the compilation significantly. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > You can't tell how deep a puddle is until you step into it. -- Miller's Law (Martin's Extension) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
