[redland-dev] installing redland on win32

[Edward Kawas]

Thanks for the prompt response! Just so that I don't screw anything up, I
want to check with you about what it is I do once I download the Redland &
Redland-bindings archives.

Do I run configure again? Or just the nmake install, or ???

Thanks,

Eddie

I compiled everything on Windows XP Pro/Cygwin.
You can download my results from http://mkrmke.org/download/
They're not the latest versions, but they should get you started.
