hi chris,
Can you post the details on how you built GEM with GCC on Windows? If
The main thing is to go through the headers of the ms platform sdk and the directx sdk and tweak them to get along with gcc. Luckily, other people have done this already, google helps quite a bit here. After this, the baseclasses should compile okay ... Then one needs to get the libraries straight that gem depends on (libjpeg, libtiff, freetype etc ... I failed on liborb and let it out), and that's pretty much all there is to do. If you get through this once, you have a working environment to compile gem that should last for - well, hopefully some time :-) I'll put up the changes I made to puredata.info, but this will take some time.
the process is manageable enough to replace VC++, I think more people would work on Win development. I will have the time to implement pix_record and fix up some other QT issues soon...
great :-)
with kind regards, thoralf.
