After porting some free software to an unfree operation system I've chosen to run some unfree software on a free operation system (ok, just wanted to play some kind of vikings godfather). An interesting target was "The Settlers 2: The Next Generation" or in german "Die Siedler 2: Die nächste Generation" v1.11757 because I found some positive comments inside wine's appdb and Ubisoft is selling it at a cheap price at the moment.

After we compiled and installed libg3d under windows/cygwin, the next step would be to port something which needs it. An "easy" target was s3d because I have write permissions to all repositories and can fix problems very fast.

Hurray. Holger Levsen found some time during his holidayQA meeting in Extremadura to check and sponsor s3d-0.2.1-6. It is currently in ftpmasters new queue. Big thx to him :)
