Steffen, I was finally able to test out your 'dia win32 compilation' instructions, and have attached my step-by-step notes on the experience. By and large, everything went fairly smoothly. Thanks again for your efforts! biggest thing I tripped over was figuring out the need to add 'art_config.h' into the .\glib\build\win32\make.msc
On the run-time side, I had to rename the libintl.dll file 'libintl-1.dll', and had to copy iconv.dll as libiconv.dll (somehow, both are needed!) Only problem with the executable is the lack of any sheets. (FWIW, File->Plugins shows that all plug-ins are loaded) Any ideas how to fix this? thx, Mike --- Steffen Macke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All, > > with some help from Hans, I was able to compile dia > for Win32. > > http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net > > has step-by-step instructions how to compile the > CVS version as well as all the required developer > packages. > > Steffen > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
