may i have a little help compiling?

Is there a real reason you need to compile 2.3.14???  Is
their
something lacking from the current windows executable???

Just asking...  no reason to go through the headache of
re-creating the wheel...

Just ignore my previous message re icc profiles, I see now
you are on windows. I don't want to disillusion you, but
creating executables for Windows is a whole new ball game.
You have to include all the supporting libraries like GTK
(which requires glib). Leave it to the guys who have been
doing it for the last 10 years and know all the tricks.

If you want to dabble, get into a linux machine. You can
then build whatever you want (there's a bit of a learning
curve). Some distros even have a 2.3.x on them so there is
no work at all!
