I was keeping a Windows version up to date, but then I had to reformat my
computer, and since then DirectX hasn't managed to get into a working state
(graphics card drivers I think), so I keep compiling it but can't actually
play Pingus (the UI works fine, just crashes when I enter a level - not
Pingus fault)

The current build errors on Windows include:
----------------------------------------------------------
editor.cxx
C:\Documents\Programs\Active\Pingus\src\Games\Pingus\src\editor\../input/eve
nt_fwd.hxx(29) : error C2039: 'Event' : is not a member of 'Input'

---------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions for the compile errors?

I will try and get my computer working again, but I don't really want to
give out a binary that I can't even run on  my own system - as it would
probably be full of holes.
