We have seen a lot of criticism from windows users about not having a binary distribution (And I don't want to offend the "good" users who have already contributed (a lot) one way or another. I name them now users but they were already contributors, even though all of them are not builders).
This is Open Source. You have the RIGHT to build it yourself. Then BUILD it YOURSELF if you want to have it! You can't have it all and do nothing. It's Open Source which is not the same as "get everything for nothing". If you don't want to build than stop whining and pay for commercial software. If you want to use this great piece of software than learn and contribute. > Of course, if windows users stand up and start to tackle this problem, > they will find help on this list. > > I couldn't have said it better! Read the "Build hugin for Windows with SDK<http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_Hugin_for_Windows_with_SDK>" and start for yourself. The wiki is regularly updated. > Regards > > Stefan Peter > > Harry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
