This is an unstable release of the GIMP, intended for developers only.

For more information about the port or GLib, GTk+ and the GIMP to
native Windows, and pre-built binary packages, see
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ or
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

To build the GIMP on Win32, you will need (for now) the Microsoft
compiler. Eventually gcc (egcs) from cygwin will also be supported.

First, build in the libgimp directory, then in tools/gcg, then in app,
plug-ins, and finally in modules. Check the makefile.msc files in said
directories.

The current build setup for Windows is a mess, I know that.
