I couldnt image it is too much work to compile it on windows. change some snprintf's to _snprintf or make a #define for it. Probably some typecasting, then just copy anything catid did to make his copy work

Wouldn't it be nice; I'm kinda hold a grudge against linux. Spent over a week downloading the ISO files (on a 56k because 1.) the libraries here don't let you download or burn files; 2.) the college I attend is like 5 states away; 3.) no one I know has anything faster than dialup.) for Fedora 2; because a friend of mine told me it's the best (?) or stronly encouraged it.... Installed it; and there are segmentation faults after I login; and there is also a Unsupported Intel chipset, thats always fun eh?.

Right now, at this present time, linux "sux0rs" (LOL)...

I thought about gentoo but w/e

I've disliked RedHat's stuff since I started with Linux, get Gentoo instead.
Don't forget to read the documentation and make sure you have enough other things to do while it's busy, of course.

Well my virutal PC demo is about to run out; and I'm not downloading anymore ISO files while on dialup. Forget it. And I refuse to pay for linux when you can download it for free. lol

I was thinking my grandma would prob give me her machine when she get's a new one; but I doubt it'd run linux.. :/ .shrug.

You all can say, yes linux is cheaper; but the most common platform for current SS zones, is windows. So does it not make sense, to have a continual side by side Windows compile.. or is it just me???

It's only cheaper in cost of the product. If you factor in time to build/maintain, and all the headaches of dealing with any Unix-based system, it's easily 20x more expensive.

Right.

That just depends on which distro you take, some are more user friendly than others.
But yes, I agree, they can all be pains in the ass compared to *cough* Windows *cough*.

First of all, Ek: stop spouting unsubstantiated nonsense. Please point to a study or some evidence demonstrating your 20x more expensive claim (one not funded by MS, please).

Next, CyperJF: the only reason windows is "the most common platform for current SS zones" is because it's the only one that's possible right now. Try asking the big hosts what they'd like to run if they had a choice.

non-SSC billers: I haven't had time to research this myself. Can someone point me to where I can download a copy of whatever biller you want asss to work with?

.39pr1 support: I've said multiple times that I don't want to support .39 until a final version comes out. If you want .39 support, bug PriitK to release a final version already.

Now, it so happens that I do have a windows box I can compile things on, but I haven't automated the windows release-making process yet. I have a question, though, before I put any more effort into windows releases:

What compiler should I use? It would be easiest to use mingw32, but I'm not sure it'll work perfectly with external modules compiled with VC++. What compiler do most people use/plan to use for their own modules/extensions?

Anyways, I've found Windows a lot easier to use than Linux... but there again, that's just me.

I've just had too many bad tries w/ it.. but no worries.. maybe in a few months I'll try again

...

I'll be more happy to try on a dummy machine where I don't need to worry about partitions screwing up etc etc loosing data, etc etc.. crashing machine etc etc

moving on..
