[Tuxpaint-devel] libsvg error , Errors in compiling Tux Paint for windows

[Shih-Chin Y. <sya...@gm...>]

Hi, John:
I almost finished compiling all the required libraries in MSYS/MINGW but
libsvg. First of all, I could not find the cvs repository in your
instruction, the link doesn't work. Then I googled a snapshot from following
link

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo-announce/2005-June/000018.html

But there is no autogen.sh. Also, when I run ./configure, it failed as well.

Would you please shed some light on this? I desperately would like to
compile windows version of TuxPaint.

Many thanks and Best Regards,
Shih-Chin
