Re: [Zinf-devel] Zinf, MSVC 6.0 and win32 video

[David H. <da...@th...>]

Hi,

What version of Zinf were you trying to compile? As far as I know
2.2.1 was the last version that could be compiled using msvc 6, though
I never managed it
myself.

The current CVS version of Zinf does now support being compiled using
the free MingW compiler (www.mingw.org), though using the new
experimental user interface only, which requires GTK.

If you plan on using ms visual c++ for working on Zinf I'd say using a
newer version was probably required, (visual c++ 2005 express is
available free to everyone via the microsoft website) as the c++
compiler in version 6 has serious problems following the C++
standards.

Whatever compiler you're using you will need to install quite a few
additional libraries as well, if you want to compile all the plugins.
I can't remember the exact list though unfortunately.

If you want to try and compile Zinf using the MingW compiler I can try
and help. I can't really help with using Visual C++ as I've never
managed to compile Zinf using it myself.

To get started with MingW you'll need to it setup with a development
environment, something like MSYS or Cygwin. There should be various
tutorials around the web.

Then checkout the current version of Zinf from CVS, (for instructions
see our sourceforge page and click on CVS), and try running
"autogen.sh" and see what error messages you get.

Hope that might help,
David
