Try ./configure --with-static all to build all the modules straight into the core. > Is there a native Win32 GUI floating about (I recall hearing that > someone was working on one) or will I have to compile Qt under Cygwin > (and perhaps use XFree86/Cygwin) to get it running? There is no native Win32 UI yet. In fact, the Qt interface is currently the only fully-featured one. Chris has succeeded in getting it to compile with libx11, and I think has modified it so it should work straight-off now (if, that is, you have Qt). Edward has mentioned that he intends to do a GTK one sometime, which should have a windows version. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen for a while. You could test the core by running a UI on a UNIX machine and connecting it remotely, if you want. Ideally, of course, we would get either a properly-native Win32 UI (in VB or C# or something) - either that or someone ponies up a few thousand for a windows Qt licence :-P > I'm willing to distribute a binary tarball once I get this sucker going.
