Raydo compiled on Windows box

Friday, December 28th, 2007

   So it only took….not much time to get a Raydo building under windows.

   It was very easy, much easier than I expected. Usually you expect some complication to crop up. Fresh installs are so nice, and worked perfectly this time.

    One caveat, read the instructions!! After installing VC++ 8, you have to make some configuration changes when installing the platform SDK. It boggles the mind that they (they as in M$) could not make those changes transparent when installing. That would make it much easier.

    So I checked Raydo at of the svn repository. and hit build. It compiled straight out of the box. Always nice when that happens.

    I do not know if Windows will be as supported as much as Linux or OSX. Actually I do know. It will not be supported as much. The difference is now, if there is a question or problem on windows, I can at least debug.

Blah. I still hate windows.
