Because I have tried to make the pre-compiled Win64 binaries without 
luck and error messages which refer me to the source code, rather than 
describing the cause :-(

That is what I am doing as well  - if you look over the recent posts on 
the users list.

If these binaries are as good and easy to use, and you want others to 
use the program - then it would be much more helpful to point me in the 
right direction, rather than kicking me in the shins for trying to do 
what the READMEs describe as straight forward.

 From what I am finding they are not - or else there are some specific 
pre-condition which are not specified or mentioned in these instructions 
- in which case it would be helpful to find out which and update these 
instructions.

Not everything the 'gurus' consider obvious, is!
