compiling with mingw
I've managed to compile 1.1.2 with mingw using Dev-C++ it all works OK I can run the program.
When I try to compile with the ./configure , make method the configure fails.
Firstly I found the configure script needs libunicows but doesn't check for it. it reports an error with sdl_image if this is not installed. but then I get stuck with the configure not completing due to missing wesnoth.mo files
can anyone explain what's not happening for these to be created? I have looked and the files don't exist. no other errors are reported by ./configure
two warnings
configure: WARNING: *** FRIBIDI not found.
configure: WARNING: *** libzipios++ not found - support for ZIP files is disabled
these are the errors
ln: creating symbolic link `./translations/af/LC_MESSAGES/wesnoth.mo' to `/c/wesnoth-1.1.2/./po/wesnoth/af.gmo': No such file or directory
ln: creating symbolic link `./translations/bg/LC_MESSAGES/wesnoth.mo' to `/c/wesnoth-1.1.2/./po/wesnoth/bg.gmo': No such file or directory
.......etc...
and of course make won't compile

mo files are made out of po files and it takes gettext and preferably a script to do that. I am using cygwin and a unix shellscript for it. It is not part of the c++ compilation and when doing the packages for windows this is a separate step at the moment.
If you are interested i can provide you more details.

Thankyou
If you can give me details and/or just point me in the direction of documentation, that'd be helpful. If./configure is not doing this then shouldn't it be on the compile instructions?
