Long description
- Jean Ghali has been submitting a series of patches to improve win32 compatibility and MSVC++ support, with the goal of getting a full-featured win32 build. See this mailing list post and the thread it spawned under the title "Scribus compiled with msvc.net 2002 : let's start debugging".
- The win32 support bug contains a list of related bugs and discussion that may be useful.
- Since Jean is working on MS Visual Studio based builds, the Visual Studio Express Edition might be of interest to anybody who's interested in helping out. Specifically, you'd want the C++ beta. Note that according to the FAQ from Microsoft "Our plan is to offer the Express products for $49 per product when they are released." (Presumably US$).
If you are a student though, you can get the whole Visual Studio 2003 (and 2005?) for $25 from [1] As authorised by microsoft.
- You might also find the command line compiler tools useful.
