Solution: Linux/POSIX emulation layer. Cygwin is usually used. MinGW/MSYS is also workable, IIRC. I've never compiled GIMP on either, though. > could figure out how to compile from CVS on Win32, I definitely would. > Of course, I'm just going on the info I found at wiki.gimp.org that said > that compiling from CVS required additional software. Then again, maybe Cygwin or MinGW/MSYS, as I said. You'll also need the development codes for various graphics libraries, e.g. libpng-dev. These are provided in sepearte packages (e.g. select in the Cygwin Installer) or available by compiling the libraries from source. > I'm just overcomplicating this.

Of course, at the end of the day, I think it'd be nicest if they made an installer for the Windows binaries for the development releases, but I'm quite sure that's probably more work than it's worth. One of these days, I know I'll get around to compiling GIMP from CVS myself. Just need to clear out some working space first. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
