Windows Versions

Saturn and Titan are available for Linux and are temporarily held in Sta.sh on DeviantArt, element90 on DeviantArt gets you to my page where you can find links to Saturn and Titan in the deviantID section. If you download the files from DeviantArt you’ll find that the filenames have been mangled and should be renamed to saturn-1.0.tar.gz and titan-1.0.tar.gz respecitively. Once you’ve unpacked the archives just follow the instructions the README files. When I’ve found a better place to host these files I’ll update the My Software page and include links to download the software from there.

I now have a copy of Windows 7 which I’m running in a virtual machine on OS X, I tried building Titan on Windows expecting a number of things to fix. Initially I installed MinGW, MSYS along with NetBeans and the Gtkmm Windows port as this is the quickest way to try things out as Titan is developed using NetBeans. The result was a surprise to say the least: Titan built an ran successfully:

This is good indication that I’ll be able to release Saturn and Titan for Windows 7 soon. The release versions will be built using Visual Studio, I’ve come across a few problems building Saturn using Visual Studio there is a disparity between Microsoft’s C++ and GNU’s C++ compilers some feature’s accepted by GNU’s C++ aren’t accepted by Microsoft’s compiler. Once I’ve got the programs to build and they’ve been sufficiently tested I’ll need to find out how to package them for release in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
