Hello World, hello Enrico,
I've noticed that under Windows in the Preferences -> Tools the edit control for make is disabled. Why is that?
Best regards Andreas

Build support in Windows has always been disabled. The reason was that g_io_channel functions didn't work at all, until about GLib 2.10. It might be worth enabling it now however. I don't know of a neat way to check if g_io_channel_* work, and with which Windows versions they work with. I think this needs to be looked into, so we can disable the build commands as necessary.
The Find in Files function also uses g_io_channel and it seems to work on Windows XP with a recent Gtk/GLib runtime (this isn't disabled on windows, I guess this is inconsistent ;-)). One minor annoyance is that it always (IME) pops up a command-prompt window, which then disappears.
Regards, Nick

There are some more things which should be disabled or get fixed for Windows, e.g. the custom commands. I will work on this soon.

Same problem with custom commands(among other problems). Perhaps gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe or gspawn-win32-helper.exe can be useful. But I still didn't find any docs or usage hints.
