Re: Trouble developing on windows 7

 

The enhanced search, multiple words...etc. I don't have an issue with
developing on Linux, it's just getting my hands on a Windows builds is what
I'm worried about. If someone else has to do it for me, because I can't get
the build environment working then that would be a pain.

I notice there wasn't a build for Windows for 1.7.2 by the by?

Kind Regards,
