I'm looking at using Vala to develop some apps for Maemo, but I would
like to get to know Vala better by playing with it on my Windows box. I
have successfully built Vala on my Macbook under MacOS X 10.5.2 (using
the version of GTK+ that comes with Mono and uses a native MacOS
backend) and it works fine. However, Windows is on my work laptop that
travels with me - my Macbook doesn't tend to leave the house. Cygwin
doesn't have the right version of glib, so it chokes on the configure
script. I'm not a Linux programmer and a novice GTK/GObject programmer
so a nice handy installer would be cool :-)
I did find a Vala 0.1.7 windows installer on the web somewhere which I
tried, but it will not find anything in the "using" clause. Plus,
running under Cygwin, it goes slightly insane. Attached the output below.
Ta,
Matt
