Hi, At the moment avogadro.dll and avogadro.exe compile. Most of the tools, engines and extension also compile. The drawtool, iso.cpp, select extension, ribbon engine do not. I’ll try to get them working tomorrow. Tim ---

Hrm… It seems like something isn’t getting exported. In windows you have to do an AVO\_EXPORT or something like that (check global.h). It should be default but maybe not. Oh, it might be that those are new OB functions that aren’t getting exported… It’s probably not related to Avo, it’s probably that your OpenBabel.dll is not exporting the functions / classes it needs to. – Donald (Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 03:46:32PM +0100) Tim Vandermeersch [tim.vandermeersch@gmail.com](mailto:tim.vandermeersch@gmail.com): > Below are some link errors, Does any one has an idea how to solve > this?

Hi, Avogadro 0.6.1 now compiles on windows. It required some changes to both openbabel and avogadro. I’ll commit them as soon as possible. The installer can be found here: [http://home.scarlet.be/timvdm/avogadro-0.6.1-win32.exe](http://home.scarlet.be/timvdm/avogadro-0.6.1-win32.exe) (I can’t add files on the sf page I think) Does anyone know the license for VC++ 2005 express edition? (Just want to make sure we can distribute the build) This is form the VC++ 2005 express FAQ: Can I use Express Editions for commercial use? Yes, there are no licensing restrictions for applications built using the Express Editions. So I assume it is allowed. Tim ---

I have put the installer up now. Thanks for getting it built. I checked my blog and actually had a comment from someone who had shown Avogadro to the other people in his lab and they were all really impressed but he couldn’t find the latest Windows version and so it was great timing to be able to put it up there for him. Thanks, Marcus
