Re: [Gimp-developer] GIMP - Windows Development

Hi Adhit,

Sorry, I didn't have time to give a look at your files. Anyway, it has
passed a long time since that e-mail and something probably changed
meanwhile. I haven't build gimp for windows in a long time.

The good news is that there are nightly builds for windows at:
http://nightly.darkrefraction.com/gimp/.

It uses drawoc's build system:
https://github.com/drawoc/windows-gimp-jhbuild, you should give a look at
it.

If you have any problem running these, tell us.

Victor
