gcc on win with configure

Submitted by oyster on October 2, 2006 - 7:19am

Is there a portable gcc on windows( I prefer to mingw, because it does not need extra dll as cygwin does), which supports the bash, autoconfigue comannd, so that I can compile most of the src on the command line like

./configure
make static
cd py_ext
make mingcmodule.so
make install

please note that I am not saying the portable devcpp IDE. Thanx

FreeBASIC

FreeBASIC is a QuickBASIC alternative, and it would be great if it could be made portable. I have found that it is much better with the FBide program, otherwise all programming must be done in a text editor like notepad, and compiled usin the windows command promp. Both programs are open source under the GNU GPL so it sould not be a problem. The website for both programs is www.freebasic.net

I want to know if anyone has made or can make a second life portable?
www.secondlife.com
It is MMO and Myspace combined to form a 3d world, aka 3d chatroom.
The actual program is a download that runs from the computer.
If you can't post the launcher can you tell me how to make the launcher.
thanks in advance

Card Game - XMSOL

Submitted by Dan Beale on September 28, 2006 - 6:40am

Petr Laštovička's website has some games released under a "reciprocal public license".

XMSOL.EXE is an excellent collection of solitaire card games that would be suitable - and simple - for portable apps wrapping.

The license is a bit confusing, but I don't think it'd prevent protable apps use. And I'm sure that Petr would be pleased about many people using his apps.
