Hi,

Thanks for spotting the link issue - Hopefully now fixed.

Sure you can ask about the build process, but 99.9% of it is based on the
README.win32 file that comes with the standard Pan distribution. A process
I went through once a long time ago, and then repeat parts of about once
every 2 to 3 years to try and update the build environment.

Beyond that I applied a bit of knowledge about GIT, autoconf, automake,
autogen, and did lots of random stabbing about. I am actually a programmer
who is far happier with Linux and gcc/g++, but I needed a Windows build,
and mingw is not too far of a stretch.

The MSI packaging is fairly simple. Once you've worked out (guessed) where
Winblows expects to find all the files, "Advanced Installer" does most of
the work, and is free for Open Source / Non-Commercial projects.

Cheers,
Steve
