Clarification of Question by donphiltrodt-ga on 18 Feb 2004 05:20 PST

Thanks, 0rakel.

Note to researchers: Feel free to test and implement 0rakel's
suggestions and come up with a tested step-by-step process.

Hi,

first of all Nicotine is derived from PySLSK[1]. PySLSK uses the
WxWindows toolkit, which is cross platform, whereas Nicotine uses
GTK2+. GTK+ (version 1) and GTK2+ have been ported[2]. Python is used
by both and is ported to MS Windows at well. You might have more luck
with PySLSK.

Personally i'd start with Cygwin[3] and try to download everything
from there. You can also contact the developer of Nicotine for help.
If you can't get it running natively, you can also use something like
coLinux[4] which "emulutes" the program instead. End result is, it
does run.

As i don't run MS Windows myself i can't write a straightforward howto
for you. I hope someone else can help you futher. Good luck!
