I tested wxManta on windows a while back. It worked fine. The recent build regressions on Windows should be easy to correct but unfortunately will probably happen again if we don't get a box setup to do nightly Windows builds.

As James mentioned though the MSVC bundled compiler didn't produce good code for us (memory alignment issues leading to segfaults). As Austin has pointed out, small game studios don't pay for the intel compiler and probably use SSE so we might just need some more flags to make MSVC play nice.

If you want a build on Windows you should compile with the Intel compiler.

Also, the default build won't be able to display (it uses X windows).
wxManta (the wxPython interface) may work on windows, but I'm not sure
anyone has tested it out.

Hello



I downloaded Manta and after setting up Cmake, I try to build via Visual
Studio.



After running into the problems below, I come to realize perhaps there are
too many fundamental differences between Visual Studio compiler and the ones
on UNIX.



Do you know if there is a tailored Windows version? Or if not, the scale of
effort in order to realize it?



Thanks
