Right. It was not hard. I've added support for starting a browser which I tested with both: file://c:/foo.html URLS and http://foo.de/bar.html URLs. The code is in the win32 branch. However, while things like "Online Demos" work, showing the FAQ does not work, because the docs/ and www/ directories are excluded from building, because doxer does not work on windows. So the win32 build simply does not include the FAQ. So opening the FAQ right now results in a "can not start browser" message. > >> * Size optimization of the installed version of Beast (right now C:\beast >> contains Mingw, MSys, ActivePerl, and some of the stuff is compiled with >> -g) >> * Relocatabilty (beast will not work unless installed in C:\beast) >> * probably something I've forgotten >> >> Note that this is an SVN snapshot build which already claims to be >> 0.7.2, so there are no guarantees whether the files produced by this >> windows version of beast work on any other beast. > > Hm, what are the chances of releaseing ALPHA 0.7.2 win32 packages > (ZIP) of beast once the real 0.7.2 is out? We can release self installing .exe releases; that works already. And yes, I think its ready for an official ALPHA release with the same featureset that the "real" BEAST 0.7.2 has. > Relocatability, scheme > support, etc aren't too bad for an alpha release (I'd recon the > browser URLs have to work though, to lead on people when they > have trouble). Browser URLs: see above. Relocatability works in the win32 branch. Cu...
