hi smoerk,
you are absolutely right, we should fix ASAP the build process for Windows.
But first, for those who want to try it, you have to install WinCVS. It is pretty useless to download the CVS tarball (which, you are right, can't be used for development).
So install CVS (there is documentation where to get it at pure-data.sf.net), or better go directly to
http://cvsgui.sourceforge.net/
and get WinCVS from there.
also there seems to be no chance for me to compile this stuff with a free compiler for windows.
is it maybe possible to provide weekly or monthly binaries for windows?`i'm bored of downloading externals from different locations on the net, which are not recent versions.
Yes, this would be great ! The problem we have currently is, that we do not have developers on windows that are willing to do this.
All of this is based on volunteers work. The advantage of the CVS is that we are in the position to collect all the work that is done. This work includes compiling externals and fixing the problems that accur when doing so.
So, again, this is a call for help. Is there anyone out there who is willing to do the compilation system for windows in the CVS ?
