hey steven,
first i like to thank you for this awesome program.
I like to use the sourcecode to compile a modified version for my needs. My primary goal is hiding some of the tabs and advanced option. I´m going to use the modded version for a part of my thesis in order to get my degree. I hope thats ok for you. No one will ever get this version.
I downloaded the version from your mercurial repository and tried to compile the toucann.cpp with wxdev-cpp (gcc) compiler. failed...
here´s the compiling log:
Although i made a few Java programms, I`m not a expert in programming. So I could need help 
Compiler: Default GCC compiler

This is just a top of the iceberg!
You can't compile this version under mingw (which is used by dev-cpp) since it uses libs that not supported by mingw (ccrypt). You'll have to fudge with MSVC.
Try older version, it has less features as you need and it's very easy to compile from the first try (e.g. under mingw):
http://portableapps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/portableapps/toucan/
p.s.
> wxInitAllImageHandlers
You use the stable release of wx (=2.9.0).
strictly true I am afraid! ccrypt is not compiled in by Toucan (and is no longer in the repository) so that is not a problem.
Although wxInitAllImageHandlers does exist in wx2.8 alexl_ru is correct, I would recommend the 2.9.0 release on the wxwidgets homepage for compilation. Hopefully I will get a draft of a guide to compiling done this weekend as there seems to be interest all of a sudden!
BTW, my compilation didn't work after all. I think this is related to lua thing (luaopen_toucan() missing).
So, since you got rid of ccrypt, will be there any chance to compile Toucan under mingw? I remember a few uses of Platform SDK, but those didn't look as really necessary things.
I have fixed a couple of bugs in mercurial and uploaded a quick guide to compiling here:
http://drop.io/toucantest/asset/toucan-031-pdf
If you have any more question please ask, I only test on Visual Studio and GCC at the moment, although I did use MinGW for a long time!
What's the best way to download source files?
My current workaround:
1. goto here
http://portableapps.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/portableapps/toucan/file/1c...
2. parse html via regexps;
3. make every link point to raw file;
4. feed url list to wget;
5. apply (2)-(4) steps for the subdirs.
I think you'll need a Mercurial client, something like TortoiseHg.

Just installed one.
I think I have to run command like this:
hg.exe pull http://some_url_here
I've tried
hg.exe pull http://portableapps.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/portableapps/toucan/file/1c...
Nothing:
abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!
Well, I'm no hg wizard, but let's try using Chris Morgan's hg instructions for PAL, and just change them to work with the Toucan repository.
To update to the latest revision,
"The question I would like to know, is the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. All we know about it is that the Answer is Forty-two, which is a little aggravating."
Thanks, it works!
thank you for the quick guide.
Here is what i´ve done yet:
1. Installed Windows 7 SDK
2. Build and added zlib
3. Exchanged the findwxwidget file.
4. Compiled wxwidgets with cmake for mingw and added the includes-path to compiler (Standard gcc compilerset in wxdev-c++).
Cmake created some files and folders (compilderidc,compileridcxx,cmaketmp,.......). Do i have to use these files in some way? I just added the wx\includes to compiler yet.
5. Added cxxtest to compiler
6. How to install LUA to Compiler? (not even my tutor has a clue)
7. How to install Swig to Compiler?
Current state of Compiling:
0 Errors, 0 Warnings, but failed
edit:
found errors:
toucan.cpp:82 GetConsoleWindow not declared in this scope
toucan.cpp:279 wcsnlen was not declared in this scope
> toucan.cpp:82 GetConsoleWindow not declared in this scope
Make sure you have macro _WIN32_WINNT defined as 0x0500 (at least).
don't need to worry about adding anything to the compiler as CMake sets all of that up for you
As for your other point what alexl_ru said should fix it!
ok defined.
But i still have the problem with wcsnlen. Its not declared in wchar.h oder string.h.
seems it isn't defined in mingw, I won't be able to get a fix pushed tonight but I ought to be able to in the morning, sorry!
EDIT: You could just try a plain wcslen until I get it fixed though!
have fixed and pushed the change, should work now!
Ok toucan.cpp in compiling fine.
Now:
20 C:\Users\Admin\toucan_02032010\forms\frmprogress.cpp shobjidl.h: No such file or directory.
found this file in windows sdk includes.I have added this folder to includes and produced a lot more errors
I can't suggest how to fix them unless you tell me what they are
Sorry
i put them into a word file.
http://rapidshare.com/files/357956723/formprogress_errors.docx.html
Just tried to compile various other cpp files, seemes to work except formprogress.
Thanks for your help
have pushed a little change to the repository that will basically stop the Windows 7 taskbar stuff being compiled under MinGW until I have dive into what it is doing!
Seems that my former wxwidgets config is not working, have to reinstall it.
just if i did something wrong:
1. install to c:\wxwidgets-2.9.0
2. add c:\wxwidgets-2.9.0 to path.
2. replace findwxwidgets in cmake modules.
3. creating wx libs: mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=0 SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 BUILD=debug
4. add c:\wxwidgets-2.9.0\lib\gcc_lib to path.
5. start cmake with cmakelists.txt in toucan rootfolder
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:70 (MESSAGE):
Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_FOUND)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake:877 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
CMakeLists.txt:8 (find_package)
for the delay on this, has the correct path to wxWidgets been filled in in the CMake gui when this error happens?
I'm trying to compile Toucan using CMake and stuck with cxxtest.
CXXTEST subtree features 3 variables to set:
1. CXXTEST_INCLUDE_DIR (value = D:\Programs\mingw\cxxtest\cxxtest)
2. CXXTEST_PERL_TESTGEN_EXECUTABLE (value = CXXTEST_PERL_TESTGEN_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND)
3. CXXTEST_PYTHON_TESTGEN_EXECUTABLE (value = D:\Programs\mingw\python\python.exe )
Is python required to build the app?
What is Python Testgen executable?
I've installed some Python 2.6.4 from here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.4/
After generating makefile the build process fails when it gets to test.h
[ 60%] Generating D:/Develop/Toucan/source/toucan_hg/test.cpp
mingw32-make.exe[2]: *** [D:/Develop/Toucan/source/toucan_hg/test.cpp] Error 2
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/toucan.dir/all] Error 2
mingw32-make.exe: *** [all] Error 2
upd. Solution
0. Set variable (1) above to "D:\Programs\mingw\cxxtest"
1. Set variable (3) above to "D:\Programs\mingw\python\python.exe D:\Programs\mingw\cxxtest\cxxtestgen.py"
2. Configure/Generate
3. Edit file toucan_build\CMakeFiles\toucan.dir\build.make
1) Found string containing python.exe
2) make it look like
"D:\Programs\mingw\python\python.exe" D:\Programs\mingw\cxxtest\cxxtestgen.py -o D:/Develop/Toucan/source/toucan_hg/test.cpp D:/Develop/Toucan/source/toucan_hg/test.h
you are right, either python or perl is needed, I will hopefully do some more updates to the compiling guide this weekend, sorry it is taking a while, very busy at university at the moment!
quick update to the MinGW stuff, I nearly have it compiling, it goes all the way to linking and then fails, but I know why, hopefully I will be able to post fixed working instructions tomorrow.
I finally got it all working today and have pushed another fix to the Mercurial repository, this is what I did:
There are still a couple if issues, mainly with the manifest, but I think I know how to fix this, hopefully I will get a commit in later to fix it.
