First off - I'm a diehard linux user and a very advanced one at that. I'm terrible with Windows however, so please keep this in mind. (PLEASE PLEASE get official Linux support soon!)

I can't get anything to compile to GLFW for the life of me. Here is what I have:
-config.winnt contains

MSBUILD_PATH="${WINDIR}\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe"

- I have installed Visual C++ 2010 Express from ttp://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express
- I have verified that C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe does indeed exist
- When I attempt to compile to the GLFW target, I get:

C:/MonkeyPro56b/bin/trans_winnt -target=glfw -run C:/MonkeyPro56b/bananas/Richard_Betson/simple_verlet_physics/simple_verlet_physics.monkey

Any tips?

The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.

odd.

I cannot offer great help since I normally use Mingw.
But:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-HK/tfsbuild/thread/9055ca52-586b-459f-9dd1-a9d052d076b9

says you may need to set an environmental path for "VCTargetsPath = C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\ ".
You can try setting the path in Control Panel > System > Advanced settings.

I'm not sure what I did, but I reinstalled Visual C++ 2010 Express and I compile fine now. I also installed OpenAL. However, now the binary fails to execute:

Build succeeded.

I re-read the documentation for the GLFW target and I'm still not seeing what the problem could be this time.

Looking at it more, It was an OpenGL issue. I'm running Windows virtualized on my Ubuntu box and I just had to set up virtualbox to pass on OpenGL commands to my host OS. All Good now!
