Thread: What do I need to be able to compile the source in Win32

Hi,

The subject says it all.

I want to mess up the backend so...

Do I need lex or flex?
Do I need autoconf (does it even exist for Windows)?
Do I need Cygnus?
Do I need any other aditional packages?

Does it compile with VC6?
Does nmake do or do I need gnu make?

Or is it easier to play around with the source in Linux?
What do I need in Linux (Cygnus, lex, flex...)?

Yes.  You could maybe do it in a Cygwin environment, but I think
it'd be an exercise in frustration.

As long as you install development tools (compilers etc) you'll
probably have all you need.
