* 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 [http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2005-June/011628.html this mailing list post] and the [http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2005-June/thread.html thread it spawned] under the title "Scribus compiled with msvc.net 2002 : let's start debugging".
 
* The [http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15 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 [http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ Visual C++ Express Edition] might be of interest to anybody who wants to help out. Note that Microsoft is releasing it 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 [http://www.thespoke.net/premium] As authorised by Microsoft.
 
* You might also find the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ command line compiler tools] useful.
 
* How can we help with the porting?
