PaulMoore: How can I build ToME from source on Windows? I've tried using the makefile.mingw file in the source directory - it looks like it's written for the cross-compiler version on Linux, but it's easy to edit for the Windows version. The build goes OK, but when I run the executable, it seems to have some problems with font handling - in one case (2.3.1) the font was pretty much unreadable, and in another (2.3.2) there was a huge empty chunk of window to the right of the text, as if the code was reading the font width as twice its correct value.

Once the 2.3.2 Windows binary is available, I'll be less bothered about this, but there are a couple of patches I'd like to try out, so I'd still like to compile my own version...

NeilStevens: Did you read FrequentlyAskedQuestions?

PaulMoore: Doh. No, I didn't. (I didn't even notice it - I spend so much time going to the General Discussion, Spoiler, and DitL pages that I forget the others exist :-() My sincere apologies.

PaulMoore: Actually, having followed the instructions in the FAQ, I still have an executable which does this business of giving a blank section to the right of the window, as if the font width is being calculated wrongly. Looks like it might be BugReport364 that's the cause, though...

NeilStevens: FAQ updated, please try again.
