Is there a windows compile of Gumband 2.3.2 floating around?

I notice it was released last month, but I didn't see anything about a windows version, and I have no idea how to compile it myself.

Right. I'd try the DOS version (note that while I have downloaded it, I haven't actually tested it in Win7 or Vista).

I've tried the DOS version. Vista throws out some error that "This system does not support fullscreen mode". Looks like a common enough problem but with no clear solution.

Guess I could try DOSbox and see if I can actually figure it out this time. Other than that I'm at the mercy of those who understand compiling.

Windows compile here.

[BlackFlame]

Cool. Thanks a lot, Nick. One of these days I'll have to figure out how to do that myself.

Thank you, Nick. Can you recommend a free compiler for use in Windows 7? I got a laptop for Xmas and I figure I might as well get with the 21st century and install a Windows compiler so I don't have to rely on the kindness of people like yourself.

I use mingw with gcc and msys; IIRC you install msys first, then mingw. That then gives a *nix-like command line. The source for any *band can then be put into c:\msys\1.0\home\yourname\. For Gumband, I just cd'd into the src directory, then did

make -f Makefile.cyg "MINGW=yes"

I should do a sticky thread for this like UnAndrew did for compiling with Eclipse.

Anne wrote a MinGW how-to in the same thread

Cool. That's how to use the windows command prompt and mingw; I'll add a post to the thread on msys at some point.
