growl->Notify(notification2, title, message);

Building for MinGW

---

MinGW is basically gcc for Windows. make is required to build using MinGW.

To build the gntp-send.exe executable and libraries required for integration run

    mingw32-make -f Makefile.w32

Building for Visual Studio

---

nmake is required to build using Visual Studio.

To build the gntp-send.exe executable and libraries required for integration run

    nmake -f Makefile.msc

Building for UNIX

---

Max OS X is basically a Unix variant and is covered by these instructions.

gcc/g++ and make are required for building.

To build gntp-send and the libraries required for integration run

    make -f Makefile
