Using libIDL for Win32 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Win32 libIDL support is mostly here, but currently requires the use of IDL_parse_filename_with_input, since there is no C preprocessor generally available under Windows. To compile this, you will also need to obtain glib for Win32, which you should be able to obtain from http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/. Building ~~~~~~~~ Edit Makefile.msc and edit the locations of the glib includes, library name, and library path. Only Microsoft C is supported at the moment, but it shouldn't be difficult to port to other compilers. Using the Library ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After building, all you need are the files IDL.h and libIDL-x.x.dll and libIDL-x.x.lib. Place the include file in a place where it can be found with libIDL/IDL.h. -- Andrew T. Veliath
