I've run the MathTests and UtilTests executables, and they report no errors detected. But they ran suspiciously quickly (i.e. instantly, with 53 test cases and 1 test case, respectively). But ledger passes the "it works for me" test. I'm able to invoke ledger and run all of my weekly reports and my custom external utilities. My native Windows Emacs ledger-new mode is able to invoke ledger successfully and it gives me the results that I expect. I statically linked ledger to the GMP (actually MPIR) and MPFR libraries, but dynamically linked to the Boost libraries (it's a long story). So to run it, you need the executable plus three Boost dlls. I would be glad to upload these files to someplace public if there's a standard location for ledger binaries. I confess that I don't know what the licensing issues are for redistributing this linked with these libraries. To get ledger to build under Windows, I had to make a total of three minor changes: - In account.h, the calls to bind had to be changed to boost::bind - In history.cc, the calls to tie had to be changed to boost::tuples::tie - I had to add an implementation for strptime, which is called from times.cc (thanks to Max Erickson for the pointer to the google strptime code.) I also couldn't get it to build against Boost 1.46.1 (lots of incompatibilities in boost::filesystem), so I used the latest Boost 1.53.0 instead.
