You should be able to get an overview by doing a search for GIMP bugs that have the OS field set to Windows. Most of these are problems with the Installer and Jernej will probably handle them. But some are genuine software bugs and it would help a lot if someone could address them. Currently we don't have much help with Windows specific problems. Your help would be much appreciated.

Apart from Windows specific problems, a good way to get involved in the GIMP source is to solve milestoned bugs. You will find these bugs in the 'Milestones' column at bugs.gimp.org. As Bill said, setting up a build environment for GIMP on Windows is quite complicated. This mailing list and #gimp @ irc.gnome.org are good places for getting help.

But that are some questions that I may ask later on :) It would help a lot to have a strong Windows coder participating. Michael Schumacher builds SVN for Windows regularly, and helps to debug many problems, but he doesn't like to write C code particularly, so lots of issues with the Windows build go for a long time without being handled. There is no shortage of tasks waiting for somebody to do them. Building SVN in Windows is quite challenging, and at the moment even more challenging than usual, because of the ongoing integration of the GEGL framework, so don't be embarassed to ask for help if you get completely stuck. -- Bill (I recall your nick showing up on #gimp today -- come back and say hello, please, if you haven't already.) ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
