Re: [Gretl-users] Building gretl under windows: volunteers?

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear. The purpose is not to have a windows

Ah I see. I will try it, but I'm expecting to not get it working right away, and I
don't have the
time for long trial-and-error sessions with makefiles and such, sorry.
However, there may be a workaround: Windows users can run Linux as a virtual machine with
the free
vmware player. There are pre-built virtual Linux machines available linked from the vm
website; I'm
currently in the process of trying such a thing out. At least some of those distros should
come with
complete compilers, which would make it possible for Windows users to build gretl on Linux
the same
way as you do, for free (and legally).
