FYI, the X-compiled build from the web site did not work for me

We have had reports that it works on Win9x, and not NT and above, so this at least seems consistent! ;-) Predictability has its own virtue.
Thanks for your efforts / instructions on your website, I decided
to
try and build on W2K natively. I have managed to get a build which atleast starts (as opposed to crashing on startup). Main thing I notice is that none of the text items are visible / are getting
created.
Getting better results on 2k than me then, the only way I can get it to start is to launch it through gdb, then gt gdb to ignore all the sigtrap signals being generated.
- First time around, the line
$(RM) libinkscape.a (in Makefile.mingw of inkscape/src) causes issues. I commented it out first time.
Thanks. Since I am not on a windows box, I get these wrong sometimes. Makefile.mingw.common should have the definition of RM. Would 'del /y' work both on w9x command.com and NT+ cmd.exe?
The issue is libinkscape.a not existing the first time you build, and hence not being able to be deleted. I just put a - in front of that line, so it trys but carrys on even if it fails.
BTW, if not for your instructions I would never have attempted
this.
same here, decent windows build instructions/makefiles was the reason I chose IS over sodipodi when I was first looking for a SVG editor.
