Hi Aaron, Ok, I've got the preview running (with python plugins) on debian now.
But... wanted to try to build it on winXP, following the directions in: http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource Looked promising, though the msys environment seemed to be in http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/msys/msys.zip instead of: http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/msys/msys.tar.gz ? But I got stuck on compiling PyQt4: it ends in the linking phase with a "input line is too long" error. Then I installed the binary PyQt4, trying to compile stuff qgis in that way, but this ended in PATH troubles: it's not clear to me then which qt binaries to use then, and running qtvars.bat hides my old cmake path etc etc. Questions: - is there a way to fix the "input line is too long" error? - is the BuildingFromSource still 'current'; should this be used for building trunk? - If so, can you describe how they succeeded, or elaborate 3.8 in 'BuildingFromSource' a little? By the way, IF it's going to work, a page like http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource is really really helpfull!
