Hi Tim, With the host site for Xcircuit/Win32 went down, there is no place to get a updated native Xcircuit for windows user.
For a guy with very little knowledge about programming, it's almost impossible to compile Xcircuit from source code. Believe me, I've done my homework and spent a whole week without any luck. First, I tried to follow your instruction to build a Cygwin version of Xcircuit. I did everything you mentioned and ended up with tones of errors associated with elements.c. Then I found Satya's patch for compile on Windows by digging into old email archive. I applied the patch to the source code and managed to let Visual Studio to compile the code, however, there are still errors from tclxcircuit.c , which I have no idea how to get rid of them. To reach out more users for Xcircuit, it is really necessary to provide a Xcircuit setup file for Windows user. My personal experience shows that it is nearly impossible to compile Xcircuit from source for average Windows user. Please make a Windows version of Xcircuit available so Windows user don't have to go through the hassle. Thanks a lot!
