Re: [Gimp-developer] [Gimp-user] How to compile a vala GIMP plugin on Windows pc?
To be clear, I don't speak for gimp, haven't worked on it even, but did look into Windows programming for a possible job during a dry spell, and I'd rather code in COBOL with vi. So, sorry the intent was wasted. :-)BillAI:http://phobrain.com/pr/home/view.html Original message From: Christopher Curtis via gimp-developer-list Date: 1/3/21 6:48 PM (GMT-08:00) To: gimp-developer Subject: Re: [Gimp-developer] [Gimp-user] How to compile a vala GIMP plugin on Windows pc?

If you can find any online docs on Windows programming, that should finish convincing you.

Re: [Gimp-developer] [Gimp-user] How to compile a vala GIMP plugin on Windows pc?
We got it and heard you. The easist way to do it is the use linux. There might be someone who compiles on WIndows, but MS removed all the compilers from its commericial OS and explaining how to install an entire compiler and make environment on a stripped down commerical windows box is a long and drawn out discussion.
