Don't worry, it builds just fine on windows 7 home premium 32 bit. If memory
serves I built it using the compiler with wxDevC++ .

I'll look into the scintilla stuff first, although if I knew enough about
getting the compiler to work from the IDE itself, I'd prefer to do that
first. I really want a version that can compile itself. Then we can move the
project forward.

I built the wxWIdgets library as a monolithic dll. I wasn't prepared for how
long it would take, but I also didn't have enough free space for the swap
file (4GB) so I'm not too surprised. We need the library as a dll since we
want to have an open architecture for plugin development.

Hope someone else can help with getting the compiler running. Even under 32
bit this would be extremely beneficial.
