As I understand it there are no Visual studio projects or compilation tools inside the svn, the user has to build them from scratch on their own. There is no reason why a VS2003/5 project could not be added to the svn to save hundreds of attempts at repeating the same work.
Also the instructions for building the project files and compiling glest are hopelessly out of date, and that includes links to the dependencies.
Also why is there no package containing all the dependencies required? Over at the spring project we package all the dependencies up into an archive or installer aka the vclibs and minglib packs, and the suer just extracts them into the trunk folder and opens the VS project and it should all compile there and then. Surely something similar would be useful for glest?
