The libcflie library doesn't seem to be designed with cross-platform usage in mind. It actually looks like it was only tested on ubuntu with gcc.

• Tested this with Visual Studio 10 Express edition.
• I found that there are many platform/compiler specific constructs used and implementations like:

// named binary constants
0b00001100 constants

// no return value
bool CTOC::isLogging(std::string strName) {
  // TODO: Implement me.
}

// platform specific functions
sleep(1.0);

// size should be a constant, or declare a pointer with new []
int size = 2; // just a number
char c = [size];

Then I stopped for now and wanted to have a discussion about what to do...

If we stick to this library we may need to rewrite parts of it.
I think it is not an option to develop for *nix-only?

because it already is on github (i.e. github.com/boaz001/libcflie) , no need to also place it here

A.t.m. it is only capable of 'individualizing' one (selected) color

This introduction should be cross-platform.
It should cover:

• creating a github account
• forking a repo
• install git or git for Windows and setting up (ssh) authorization
• clone a repo to local machine
• branches and commit/pull/push-ing
• pull requests
• fetching from remote (to keep local up-to-date)
