Hi All. As you know I started working on Qt for a desktop editor, and found out we need the 64bit port, so I switched to do that.
I am now at a state where 64bit for windows, seems to be working, BUT I had to find and download 64bit versions of all our external libraries, these come as .7z files, which means we would have to extend the extract bat file. I know we will will also need some Qt libraries and possible also a JS framework (for the webapp) so I am questioning if it is sustainable that we keep maintaining our scripted download. Apache used to have a place at google called apache_extras (will be terminated in a matter of days), it is now being replaced with another place. Apache_extras is a good place to keep these externals in a form (original+lib/include) so developers simply download that as one package. I would like to make a zip package that contains: - original library files (zip, 7z etc) - A text file telling from where they were downloaded - files unpacked in our directory structure (externals/*) We can later make similar packages for MacOS, linux etc. where needed. I would put that zip file up on our web page until the situation with apache_extras is cleared (unless Andrea believes the SF version is stable). Thoughts ? rgds jan I.
