How does one go about compiling the source code into a usable program?
Is there some particular (preferably free-ware) compiler that is used?
I have a 64 bit Vista system if that makes a difference.

I've never compiled it for Windows but have used the instructions found
here <http://www.gimp.org/source/> with good results.

Thanks for the information. I've never compiled anything an thought
it might be interesting to try.

For what it's worth, I would consider compiling GIMP on Windows to be
somewhere between moderately difficult and outright difficult. If
you're looking to try out compiling, find the simplest Open Source app
that you're interested in using and start there.

ymmv,
