Neither Gunnar nor I uses Windows. Help on Windows is needed getting GNU Go 3.8 out the door. Could someone volunteer to test the CMake build with VC++? This needs to be done before we can release GNU Go 3.8. You may use this tarball: http://sporadic.stanford.edu/bump/gnugo/gnugo-3.7.12b.tar.gz or gnugo-3.7.13.tar.gz when that is posted, probably within the next 24 hours. We need three things from you. (1) Confirm that this can be done. Take notes in preparation for (2). (2) Review the documentation, currently in the file WINDOWS. This documentation will be copied into the texinfo doc but we can do that. (3) If possible, send us the .dsp and .dsw project files that CMake produces. (It appears that CMake can be made to generate these but the documentation doesn't seem to say how.) Perhaps it would be good to delete the existing files. They are: ./gnugo.dsw ./sgf/sgf.dsp ./sgf/sgfgen.dsp ./patterns/dfa.dsp ./patterns/mkeyes.dsp ./patterns/mkpat.dsp ./patterns/uncompress_fuseki.dsp ./patterns/joseki.dsp ./patterns/fuseki.dsp ./patterns/patterns.dsp ./utils/utils.dsp ./engine/board.dsp ./engine/engine.dsp ./interface/gnugo.dsp Gunnar wrote: > For windows project files the actual VC compiler is presumedly > available as a free download but from what I could find on the net the > install doesn't work on wine, although the compiler might work if the > files are transferred from an install on a windows box.

There is a 90-day trial version of Visual Studio available for free download. One would have to read the license to know whether it was legal for us to distribute project files that were generated by Studio, but there should be no issue using it to test files that are generated by CMake.
