    Re: compiling open source c++ program

    I would suggest installing GNU Autotools and just using the automake system that has been set up. Once you have that installed, open up a terminal in the project directory and write:
    configure
    make

    No, I was under the impression you where using Linux. As far as I can see, that project does not target the Windows platform.
