All right, i've got my own theme, getting to know a lot about litestep, it's time to learn how to compile modules, yay!

So, questions (some stupid, some not)... Should I be doing this in any particular environment? I mean, i've got linux, cygwin, various windows tools, what SHOULD i use, or is it just personal preference? Also, it looks like I'm going to need various header files (lsapi.h, wharfdata.h, etc). Can I get those from anywhere?

Thanks

It's probably best to compile under windows. It's (generally) coded in MSVS, but there's no real reason you can't use any other compiler. Any header files you need can be found in the source distributions.

ahhh, thank you! btw, those of you who do this kind of stuff, what compiler do you prefer?

MSVC (with a plugin from http://www.wholetomato.com/), by laziness and because it works well.
