Hi John, This is the build.sh file I use when I compiled csound5 a long while ago on this particular Win2K computer: #!/bin/sh python /c/Python24/Scripts/scons buildCsoundVST=0 csoundDynamicLibrary=0 noDebug=1 gcc3opt=pentium3 useDouble=1 $@ I'm not even sure if the above flags are right, but the calling of scons should be correct: python /c/Python24/Scripts/scons Hope that helps! steven On 8/10/06, jpff@codemist.co.uk wrote: > I would very much like to be able to build Csound5 on Windows XP but I > am having a load of problems; it is tempting to blame the instability > of XP, as I am getting blue screens after a period, very slow actions, > inability to install some software (*) etc, but I have a long history of > not getting on with Windows -- only windows95 ever behaved stably! > > Anyway, by question is about installing Msys, MinWG and Scons.
