[AG-TECH] Beacon v1.3 on Windows

[Michael Braitmaier]

Hello everyone!

After struggling quite some time with getting a beacon running on 
Windows(basically trying to natively compile it), wanted to know whether 
someone can give me a rough guide on how to setup such a beacon on a 
Windows XP system. I know that I have to use cygwin.The question is 
whether I then have to compile the beacon within the cygwin environment 
of Windows XP? I am not that
used to run cygwin on Windows XP, in fact this will be the first time I 
am going to use it, but I have seen some of you running
the beacon on cygwin successfully (assuming this is in combination with 
Windows XP). Is it eventually possible to share
the binaries for a cygwin environment? Could someone point me out the 
steps to perform to get the beacon setup successfully?
Maybe this would even be a nice subject for an article on agcentral.org?

Thanks
Michael
