Please check this for a full list of known issues about the windows port: http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/windows.txt >How do I acquire and/or build this missing plugin for Windows? > At the moment, you can't. I have a cross compiled pack of 3rd party libraries, mianly gtk and its dependencies. I use this pack when cross compiling pcb-rnd itself. This pack lacks libgd ans some other optional dependencies, so pcb-rnd.exe does not contain all available plugins, only most of them. I plan to roll a new pcb-rnd.exe around the next release, and I plan to upgrade my pack (trying to cross-compile libgd and libjpeg). I can't promise it will just work, but if it does, the next exe will have png export too. Eventually, through a few releases, we could reach a state where the exe has all available (stable) plugins. (It also depends a lot on how many users it really attracts - the effort invested in the windows port will be proportional to the user demand of production windows users.) Best regards, Igor2
