Thanks. The last time I built an executable it was 20 years ago :-). I've never built a windows binary before and it looks quite involved!
If anyone does have a link or zip I would appreciate it.
I don't blame you for not wanting to build one as it is one heck of a task.
Having spent the better part of Saturday's first half of the evening trying to compile BFGMiner for windows (and having a complete MinGW environment), I made a fresh git download and all goes well until ...

I could go into the code and add the odd bracket et all as the error suggests, but then that could spawn another error ....
Now that was from last nite .... and the repository was also downloaded last nite! I am not sure whether the *nix builds are OK, but ....
Any insights?
EDIT:
Like I suspected, after posting I decided to go ahead and edit the errors out, did that, and now .... though some progress, more errors still!
