[Uml-user] RE: Compiling Umbrello to a Windows binary

Hi,

I'm sorry about the ambiguity of my original
message, thus I hope to be more precise in
the present one:

1) I don't want to install Cygwin or anything else
   and then have to compile the Umbrello sources 
   by myself. It doesn't make any sence
   for me to spend hours in figuring out how to
   do that, only to produce one binary. I'm not 
   a Linux specialist and also won't be able to 
   become one.

2) It makes sence IMHO to take time to 
   translate the instructions in german...

3) There's no cygwin version to find.

4) Since a lot of people do untilize Windows,
   even if it may not be the best OS ever,
   a windows specific binary could tremendously
   improve the name recognition of Umbrello.

5) I suppose, Umbrello is as powerful as most of
   commercial UML tools running under Win.
   It's an assumption.
   I'd like to gain a real POC (proof of concept).

6) Umbrello could become a "favourite tool" of 
   many "new" people, though it is up to Umbrello
   to help itself in becoming famous :)

7) I may be wrong and should better rely on win 
   native tools, should I? Really?

Best regards,
Loïs Bégué
