I forgot to mention about those Python requirements, so thanks for pointing that out.

Someone forked Comix on Sourceforge to Mcomix, but commit activity ceased after a few days. If someone has to do it (the original developer might as well never turn up again), at least don’t half-ass it.

Alright, I figured one needs some other packages in addition to gtk+ for Windows…

• PIL
• pycairo
• pygobject
• pygtk

… which are currently only available for Python 2.6 x86, so one may as well take the original version of the start script. But in any case, here’s my build with changes as described above. Works with 2.6 and should work with Python 2.7: http://www.mediafire.com/?x7gdwfb2bj4w0cz

Btw, while direct development of comix may have ceased, there are still some quite interesting 3rd party patches on its sourceforge site.

Does this still work with Python 2.7?

I’ve got 2.7 x86 and 3.1 x64 installed and compiled it after replacing “afxres.h” with “windows.h” in Resources.rc, adding 2.7 to the TCHAR array and defining CRTSECURENOWARNINGS 1 for Visual C++ 2010.

It compiles, but then merely crashes silently.

First of all, thanks for this. It’s nice having the best manga reader on Windows. One problem though, how can I get it to read rar files? Converting the archive to zip obviously works, but it would be nice if I didn’t have to do that step.
