Does it work? Whether it does or not the fact remains that the MSVC project files are a maintenance nightmare. As soon as we add a new source file or a pattern database file the project files are immediately out of date and we can only hope that somebody sooner or later notices the problem and sends in a patch to repair them. A potential solution to this problem that I want to explore is to use cmake (http://www.cmake.org) for Windows builds. The main drawback is that it requires cmake to be installed on the machine where the build is done but then it generates up to date project files for the chosen MSVC version, which are used for a completely native build. The big advantage of using cmake here is that cmake is also available for GNU/Linux where it instead generates normal makefiles (or kdevelop project files for those inclined). This means that we can test the cmake configuration files before committing build changes to CVS, which greatly improves the chances that building on Windows continually works. For various reasons cmake can not be considered as a replacement for the autotools build system on Unix-type platforms, however. The supported way to build there will remain ./configure + make (+ make install). I have prepared a patch which adds cmake configuration files at http://trac.gnugo.org/gnugo/ticket/191 They are written by a cmake beginner (me) but suffice for building on GNU/Linux and hopefully can be used on Windows. Please see the ticket for instructions on how to build with cmake. If you have Windows with MSVC, please give it a try and report how it worked, or more likely how it failed, so we can fix problems and evaluate whether this is an effective solution. /Gunnar _______________________________________________ gnugo-devel mailing list gnugo-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnugo-devel _______________________________________________ gnugo-devel mailing list gnugo-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnugo-devel
