it's possible to compile without any version of VC ?

and wath is glfw-3.0.3 ? i have it downloaded but how to use it ?

you can use mingw-32.
you need to use the #GLFW_USE_MINGW=true

glfw3 is NOT compatible with monkey. use 2.x for now.

ok if i have good understand:
#GLFW_USE_MINGW=true = no need to install Visual studio ?

and wath is :

#GLFW_USE_GCC=True ?

Please refer to the config.winnt.txt file of your monkey installation (in the bin directory) :


'MinGW is currently available here:
' http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download
'
MINGW_PATH="${SYSTEMDRIVE}\monkey_sdks\MinGW"
MINGW_PATH="${SYSTEMDRIVE}\MinGW32"
MINGW_PATH="${SYSTEMDRIVE}\MinGW"



MINGW is an another compiler to compile in GLFW format. Just install it, you can download it, just go to the website mentioned in the file, and setup the folder of your MINGW installation in this file.

And then, Monkey will use MINGW instead of VS to compile with if you set the GLFW_USE_GCC to true.

If you have installed MinGW and setup the path on your config.winnt.txt file : YES
