Native version of Scribus for Win32
Status in short
- There is no native version of Scribus for Windows, not yet :)
- Windows port is work in progress, expect first test builds around the version 1.3.2 or 1.3.3
- See the RFE 15 for more
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++ version. Note that Microsoft is releasing them for free download until November 2006 (license doesn't expire), and for US $49 after that.
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.
