Mubox - can one svn sync that codepex thing and type "make" and obtain a working executable from your sources ? what dev env you need ? (VC++? something free ?)
CodePlex offers SVN access, but there is no makefile. Mubox was written using Visual Studio 2008, .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 and, thus, can be built from a command line using MSBuild.exe (standard build tool, ships with the SDK or VStudio editions.) You should be able to download the source via SVN, as a ZIP from the codeplex website, or other means, load the solution file using Visual C# Express (a free IDE) or similar, and run directly under a debugger. Mubox is a C# application that utilizes WPF for the UI.

"MSBuild" will eventually replace 'make' according to Microsoft, I haven't seen 'make' since probably 1997 on a Unix-variant OS.
