As it looks like nearly all hope of a win32 Port
have been abondoned I am willing to attempt to redesign the current configure
and makefile system so that it can compile as-is under cygwin using the
standard: ./configure; make. At that point a valid win32 executable will exist
so creating a windows installer will be fairly easy. I am uncertain how to go
about linking to Direct X from GCC however I have found that OpenGL runs well
under windows.
I am not very proficent in C/C++, as my native
language is Visual Basic (and i've learned to depend upon case insensitivity),
however I can certainly attempt this.
That said, I would be grateful for any assistance
that could be provided, especially by memeber's of the Pingus Devel Team,
As I will likely have questions about certan dependencies, and if it comes
to the point of having to alter the c code, i may have a few questions on some
of the more obscure code. I prefer to communicate via a real-time system such as
IM.
Please reply with anny comments. If several of you
would like me to attemp this and are willing to assist me, I will attempt
this.
