Pages
Also worth looking at the environment that Dims used to compile on
Windows, using the no-cost MS compiler and tools,
- Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
- Microsoft Macro Assembler 8.0 (MASM) Package (x86)
See [1]. Not sure if he wrote a wiki page / whatever with the final
outcome.

Havnt quite given up yet... for me getting the code to the developer is
going to be much easier than
trying to get the devloper onto linux.... so I'm trying.
Yes I did end up looking at MinGw, and I got it going with Eclipse... that
still wants
Cygwin as well btw, even though it does nothing... its a mission to setup
but it works.
The problem though is that "this project is wild", where these tools seem to
fall down
is when MS gets crazy with COM... more than just a DLL... or I just have no
idea
how to go there in this environment. This project I think has to go up the
MS tool chain.
And probably does already...
Problem also is I been out of C programming for about 5 years... so damn I'm
rusty.
You might want to take a look at www.mingw.org - this is a compiler (and
complete toolchain) based on gcc that compiles against native windows
apis (rather than against cygwin dlls).
