I honestly don't have much to blog about now, except that building on windows is not as fun as one would think. First you download a terminal emulator in order to be able to checkout the source, which works so *check*. Then you build and it works for over an hour, and then returns an error. Says a configuration file is not found within the /etc/fstab.conf. So I look around and all thats mentioned is that I required the windows sdk to build against, which is 1.4GB. Sigh. This compared to linux one-two-three steps is annoying. And the reason I'm building in windows is because my project involves the windows seven taskbar lists, which is that really cool feature where you get to right click on a program icon on the taskbar (which may or may not be open) and give you a personalized list with application specific data. In the case of thunderbird maybe a few pinned favourite people you would want to email, the latest 5 emails in your inbox and a notification system (I personally find flashing to be simple but very efficient). Anyway expect another update in five hours once the windows sdk downloads.
Peace Out.
