LAT on Windows

So I had some time to kill while I waited for my dinner to arrive and I thought I’d take a look at Mono under Windows. I grabbed a copy of that and a copy of LAT and went to work.

First I had to remove all the GNOME stuff. That was the about dialog, the GConf stuff, and keyring support. Second was to remove the Mono.Unix stuff. I tried to compile and got a couple of reference errors, fixed those and it then it worked.

First time trying to run LAT it crashed. That was just some issues getting the user’s home directory. Second time it worked:

Made a connection, and some stuff worked but a lot of it didn’t. There were a bunch of console warnings about widgets. As you can see below, part of the interface isn’t showing up. Various parts crash due to gettext calls I hadn’t removed.

I’m not really interested in porting LAT to win32 because without the GNOME stuff it’s pretty crappy :). Still it’s pretty cool to see it kind of work across platforms. Good work from the Mono guys!
