RE: Hubbub and LibCSS for Windows

I had no problems to compile libwcapplet, libparserutils and libcss with vs 2008 express. You will need to fix few c99 headers that does not come with vs, but you can find them freely on the internet. It was quite some time ago. If I remember well, you have to have perl installed to run a script that will generate you some include file before you do compile. Also you have to take a peak into includes and makefiles to see what include flags has to be defined. It was pretty straightforward process.

If I ever fine my old projects i can post them somewhere; but it won't be possible to me before next week.

Thanks to both you and Michael.  We'll give the mingw cross-compile route a whirl.

The build systems are implemented in GNU Make and are not trivial.

You'll either want to build using a GNU-like toolchain (we routinely

cross-compile to Windows from Linux using mingw), or reimplement the

build process inside Visual Studio.

 

I would recommend the former.
