I've used the Visual Studios express method, it compiles "fine". In 2010 I believe it had to migrate the project to the current version, but that went ok. It's a pain getting/compiling all of the required libraries, but it can be done. By "fine", I mean it compiles all of the DLLs, however by using Microsofts tools, I cannot find many exported functions to dynamically link to, and if I try to open the dll with MS's equivalent of dlsym/dlopen, I get errors.

I believe most of these can be downloaded for windows in binary form fairly trivially. It is possible that the pthread lib needs to be compiled, but that was the easiest of all, in my experience - no dependant libs. -Jim Stapleton _______________________________________________ Agar mailing list [email protected] http://libagar.org/lists.html
