Ahahah it would be so reasonable to have a windows port that we compile from Linux and test in wine! I could even call the x11 port and nobody would notice! ;-) </joke> Now seriously, we always lacked manpower to do the windows port. Now that Vincent left, the situation became worse. While I can install the mingw stuff and fix compilations, I'll not maintain it as I don't have time or interest. That said, if the windows support is to be kept I'd ask: - a maintainer that compiles and test at least every week. - a build bot that will work in the same way as Linux (integrated to our master) Otherwise it's fixing now to have it broken in the other day. :-( -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery and much more.
