I have been told by a number of people that eggdrops don't seem to work on XP, but 1 person reported his did. We distrobuted that version, and it still failed to work on other systems.

I guess eggdrop just doesn't like XP, for the reason, it wasn't specificaly designed for windows.

I advise you visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/windrop/ and contact the people there, they may be able to shed more light on the XP issue.

Got 4 windrops running perfectly (almost) on XP platform, only prob I got is they won't share userfile with other non-XP bots (tho they can share without prob from XP to XP...) Using 1.6.6 w/ netbots 4.05 here...

Try using the Windrop versions which were recently updated to Cygwin 1.3.3 at http://windrop.sourceforge.net/
Cygwin is used to compile the Windrops and previous versions didn't support Windows XP. The Cygwin homepage no longer has any Windows XP warnings since 1.3.3 update though so I think Cygwin 1.3.3 might have proper Windows XP support.

1.6.6 is already compiled with Cygwin 1.3.3... I'll try the 1.7.0 beta one, we'll see... Thx for ur input, bro

Not worth trying Windrop 1.7cvs, that version is out dated due to current Eggdrop 1.7cvs no longer compiling under Cygwin and that last Windrop 1.7cvs used the older Cygwin 1.3.2 which had more Windows XP issues.

That's what I get while debugging one of the faulty leaf bots... U got any idea how I could fix that [censored] ?

Would that be a netbots or windrop issue? kinda confused...

Neither.

It would be a windows problem.

Hi,

All i want to say (or advice?) is to purchase a new shell (a good one) and start using an EGGdrop.. cuz eggdrop rocks! and windrop flops!

I am a windows user but i still want eggdrop to be run where it is intended to.. *NIX.

Just my 2 cents
