C compilation: who wants a challenge?

Will any kind soul compile a program for me?

I spent yesterday evening trying to compile the CVS version of “rtf2latex2e”:http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtf2latex2e/ on Windows XP - firstly trying the supplied Visual Studio project, then using “Dev-Cpp”:http://www.bloodshed.net and trying to hack it myself. Ended up with a whole pile of linker errors about undefined constants; I’d show you the exact messages only I’m now getting compilation errors…

Now granted, I know virtually nothing about C (other than that taught in a 1 semester course) and absolutely nothing about compiling it/creating projects/using gcc (none of this was taught - everything was single file so compilation was straightforward ‘hit button with exclamation mark’). Which makes me think I’m probably doing something very stupid
Anyone fancy the challenge of building it on Windows? I’d thank you for doing so! In case you’re wondering; the obsession with such a wierd program is because I’m doing the 2nd year “professional” lab write-up (a precursor to the 3rd year dissertation and 4th year project report) which is supposed to look like it has been published in a Journal (i.e. lots of theory and the text should make sense - unlike the normal writeups which are blagged and written up during labs). Not wanting to be locked into “LyX”:http://www.lyx.org from the start in case it didn’t work I used Microsoft Word, but the final document looks _horrible_ compared with LaTeX produced work (there is something about decent typesetting…).

The 3 year old Windows binary of “rtf2latex2e”:http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtf2latex2e/ works OK, but every converted equation has a new line inserted before it, and I’m fed up of taking them out by hand; so I want to try the CVS version to see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks to anyone who can offer help
