Port to Windows #79

Original issue 76 created by sfiera on 2011-10-04T03:46:29.000Z:

Port Antares to Windows. Antares is unlikely to compile against MSVC, so this could mean compiling in a different environment (probably easiest, if possible), or a lot of grungy compiler-compatibility-oriented changes. At least we don't have to worry about the resource fork.

Yes please! I like Antares very much but I'm on Windows :(

I got the automatic build/upload running again, so antares-win-git.zip is available as a build from HEAD. It doesn’t really work at the moment, because it doesn’t include the required app data. I suppose this is just a matter of bundling the exe in a folder and teaching Antares how to find resources relative to the executable’s location. After that, there’s also the matter of using DataExtractor on first run.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your work on the Windows port and Antares as a whole! I'm guessing you've included the app data since making your previous comment because it works rather well! Perhaps you don't think it's ready for prime-time just yet, but you should make it available on AresCentral.org

Ah, yeah. It’s available from the version history but that page isn’t where you’d look for the latest builds.
