Building on Windows #14

Hi all,

I think this project is brilliant and am going to use it on a major part of my site. I am hoping to be able to contribute... but I can't seem to be able to build this beauty.

I am a Windows guy, and I usually use Visual Studio - open and build :) I am not sure what to do here.

I read the INSTALL and saw that I need to run ./configure as a first step? This is linuxy :) so I recalled Cygwin - installed that and autoconf, but ./configure failed. I am at a loss here, sorry to be a bit dodgy, but hopefully your replies will fix that :)

Or am I going about this all wrong?

Is there a sample data and images somewhere I can use as a test to see all is ok once I get going?

Hi Matthew,

Using Cygwin is the right way to go about it. First create an empty ChangeLog file in the root directory of the project then run: bash autogen.sh ./configure gmake

If this is not can you let me know what how it is failing.

Regards Jacqui
