All of the information below was for making 0.8.2. I haven't tried svn under Windows. I think some of the MinGW packages that it asked to install are not the newest. That may be intentional, but when I was trying to install a newer version of automake and autoconf (I can't remember if that actually solved a problem, or I just thought it would) I had some trouble finding the URLs. That's more of a problem with MinGW and sourceforge though. I copied over the source tree I was using to build on my Mac and configure would cause sed to core dump, so I spent quite a while trying to figure out why. When I just unpacked a new version and added my patch, I didn't have that problem. Perhaps it has to do with line endings or the fact that I had already run configure on a Mac. SDL_gfx gave me some trouble since the latest version didn't want to compile (it didn't understand _asm), and then I forgot to change DLLINTERFACE to nothing (I got confused, since there were a bunch of #ifdef's so I thought it must have been fixed since the wiki was written). I had to install gettext and iconv that weren't mentioned in the wiki, and add -lintl to the linking step. I also had to install NSIS and add it to my path to create the installer. There is also a note to move libcurl-4.dll that doesn't make sense--it puts in the same place. I think one of them is supposed to be /mingw/ lib All in all it was sort of frustrating, but I hate build systems. They never seem to work, especially cross-platform. That and I don't know Windows at all. >> However, it seems that >> the windows version has problems downloading the .png file that my >> webserver sends it (the png get's corrupted somehow).

I hadn't thought of that. That is exactly the problem. Then I changed the mode of the opened file from "w" to "wb" it works perfectly. Now the question is whether it should be opened in text mode for other things...
