If I interpret the recent thread on windows installers correctly, much work has already been done and we are "almost there". So I decided to try and push it a bit more, to get it to the point where an windows installable toolchain gschem-gnetlist-pcb-gerbv exists and can be updated when new versions of geda/gaf/pcb are released. Since I am quite a noob at windows, but working with linux at my dayjob since 1996, crosscompiling seems like the only option. However, there are all kinds of windows machines available for testing at my day job.
------------------------------------- Summary on what has already been achieved (correct me if I am wrong): * gschem: Peter Clifton reported success for a crosscompile with Mingw32 after some tweaking. * gnetlist: According to Peter C. it gnetlist crosscompiled nearly out of the box. * gsch2pcb: no cross compile success reported yet. * pcb: There is a windows installer for version 1.99 based on the nsis installer. (Who did this?) * gerbv: There is a windows port available at sourceforge :-) ---------------- To get me started, I'd like to reproduce the nsis installer of pcb with the current version. Whoever achieved this major mile stone, can you supply me with notes on which tools to use, tweaks to make and docs to read? ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
