Re: New to Planner Devel, having lots of issues/problems with builds



Hi David!

In Planner development we don't use Microsoft Windows at all so I don't
recommend you to try to use Windows as your development environment. In
modern GNU/Linux distributions, like Ubuntu Dapper for example, you can
install the development environment from packages directly and it should
be easier for you to start developing.

Cheers
