Gnucash, GTK2, and Windows

[Justin Kelly]

Hi

Has anyone tried Cooperative Linux

http://www.colinux.org/?section=screenshots

Its free and allows you to run linux program 'in' windows, 
Havent used it myself but it might allow for gnucash on windows

Cheers

Hmm, the search facilities at lists.gnucash.org are pretty good IMHO
-- how did they fail for you?

To answer your question: no, there is no gnucash for windows.  The
sources, as they exist today, wont compile.  I think it'll be _easier_
once we finish the gtk2 port, but that's still a while away.

None of the current developers care about Windows, so we have no plans
or intentions of implementing a windows port ourselves.  However, we are
certainly amenable to accepting patches to enable gnucash to build on
windows, provided those patches are portable and dont stop the code from
building on existing platforms.
