As Mark said, Windows support isn't always up to date and lacking. I am (was?) the "official" Windows maintainer, and I've always built everything through MS's Visual Studio. Building the GTK1 client is a real mess, a weird process where you rename randomly files, copy and change names, change functions, and weird things like that. Therefore I didn't really want to try to build the GTK2 client. I also feel, maybe because I don't use it, that it isn't as advanced as the GTK1 client - from my point of view, GTK1 is still the official client ^_- Thanks for the patch, and the remainder :) As a note, I think patches are better on the Sourceforge tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13833&atid=313833 instead of buried in the forum (tracker makes it easier to follow things) Nicolas -- http://nicolas.weeger.free.fr [Petit site d'images, de textes, de code, bref de l'aléatoire !]
