Yes, I think it will be very helpful to a lot of people. I was wondering if it would be possible to have some up-to-date binaries in graphicall.org.... I don't think that most GIMP users be familiar with the trickery of compilation, or that they have time to do it. Just an uninformed opinion: more users pissed off by bugs or lack of documentation in the development version = more users willing to contribute in some way.

Hi everyone, I've done a simple tutorial about how to build the latest GIMP with MingW, it works for me.

Hope it helps. Victor Oliveira

Please check out my website (www.partha.com) where I provide Windows binaries of git pulls. Obviously, it is not possible to provide builds everyday. You are welcome to upload them to Graphicall where my previous builds were uploaded by another user.

Please put your efforts into working with ender in making Windows binaries instead of maintaining a separate set. Having 2 different Windows builds doesn't help and becomes a nuisance when someone reports a bug against Windows, which has turned out in several cases to be due to the versions of dependencies used.

You could work with ender in making official Windows builds which we can distribute directly linked from gimp.org itself. I think victorm would also prefer that for his project with AMD.

Ender has made 2.7.4 builds available now.

Btw, it _is_ possible to make builds every day. :) You'd have to setup Jenkins to make a Windows build for whatever is done by hand now.
