I'd really like to start a formal QA process for AOLserver, especially with the 4.0 release headed our way. > Do you perhaps have a .tar file that is known to work? Not really. Yes, I could make one -- I could tar up everything I have locally that I used to create the AOLserver 3.4 binary release ... but it would be very informal, and not really supported. > Also, I'm just going to make .maks out of the dsps, I think.

If memory serves, I've already checked my work into CVS ... look in the win32/ directory, along with include/Makefile.win32 ... I've hand-rolled these Makefiles rather than having DevStudio auto-generate them. Maybe that was foolish of me -- I'm not sure yet. ;-) > Are there any plans to sort of merge the source trees and include win32 > stuff in Makefile.global so I can just use gcc under windows? How stable is win32 gcc? I haven't dared to try it, and I doubt it can build anything except for console apps. but maybe I'm wrong. The source is already pretty well merged ... the only thing that really isn't is the Tcl distribution but that's fine, and building the Tcl stuff is pretty rock solid now, anyhow. What really needs some more polishing is the win32 build process, and unfortunately I know Jim likes to develop under DevStudio which means he's only using the .dsp files ... which are probably the better way to go on win32 but I'm just a Luddite sometimes ... > Also, I've heard little snippets about AOLServer 4, that some of the > development is actually being done on windows? Is that true, and is it > slated for release any time soon? You can toy around with a pre-release version of AOLserver 4 by checking it out of SourceForge CVS. I don't know whether the development is done on Windows, but I'm sure there's at least some minimal testing being done on Windows. And, no, I don't think there's a public release schedule, not from the AOL folks, at least. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/
