Do you know if MS makes a Free-as-in-Beer MSVC distribution? Yes, they do, Microsoft named them the "Express" edition. Latest non-beta version here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express I have a few wrapper scripts and hacks in the environment to make it work, and one more small unfinished patch that's needed for the testsuite to work with MSVC when libffi is a dll. I'll write something up to describe my environment later, things are interfering... I'm going to need to make some personal notes of all that anyway, or else I'm going to need to find it all out again next time, which would be a big waste of time. Cheers, Peter
