First to answer your question in the other posting -- I already have
BWView built and working (and released, and tested by Joerg) on
Windows using MinGW (a GCC derivative) and libSDL. See MinGW here:
I used MSYS as a shell environment for building, also from the same
site. The build process was a bit of a hack, but I'll tidy this up
before the next release.
For building on Linux you'll need this archive:
http://uazu.net/temp/bwview-0.1.0.tgz
In it you'll find a file "BUILD.Linux":

As you can see, you'll need to pick up and build the FFTW and SDL 1.2
libraries separately. I plan to include the bits of FFTW I need
within the source bundle next time, to save you having to
(temporarily) install a 32-bit version of the library. (The library
is only for linking -- it isn't a shared library).
I hope this will be enough to allow you to build it. GCC is fine, as
that is what I'm using.
Any problems, let me know --
Jim
P.S. I have found a couple of minor bugs, not yet fixed. I'll tidy
this all up and get it up on my site properly pretty soon.
P.P.S. To the FreeBSD guy who's just joined the list -- I'm sure
you'll be able to build BWView on FreeBSD also, if libSDL supports
FreeBSD -- there's nothing too strange about the code.
