Personally, I think the wiki would probably be a better place for stuff like that than the repo (but it's not really my call what goes in the repo or not). There's already a stub for compiling for/on windows: http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking:Building/Windows If you'd like a wiki account, I'm told you should hop on IRC and bother either LightningIsMyName or Alexia_Death. If you need any more help with cross compiling, feel free to ask. A few people, including myself, have up to date cross compiling environments working, and wouldn't mind helping you (or anyone) out if you run into any more problems. -- drawoc On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 9:22 PM, Jehan Pagès <jehan.marmottard@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I have tried native compilation (the GIT repo) in a Windows 7 VM; then I > tried to cross-compile. > I finally managed to complete the GIMP cross-compilation! > This email from the archive has been a great help by the way: > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2012-May/msg00067.html > > This kind of information should definitely be in a WINDOWS-DEV-README (or > whatever you wish to call it) file in our repo!
