Hello,
I've put together the build files for VS9 to bulid ledger into one, self-contained executable on Windows; I've also made an installer that can make MSI packages. At first I planned to use NSIS but MSI's are the way of the future anyway, and I had to learn WiX (a Microsoft open source project to make MSI's) anyway for my day job so I figured I might as well use it here. It's very small and fast, as opposed to many other MSI's. I've put everything in a patch set against master that can be downloaded from here: www.stack.be/~roel/software/ledger_windows_installer.zip . It contains a document that roughly describes how to build on Windows. Everything works quite OK and could be automated to the point of daily builds and daily test drops onto the download page quite easily, provided there is a Windows machine to do these builds available. I guess it's not that important in the end, and I can do it manually too for stable releases. John, this version still has 'conversion of int to bool forced' warnings, I'm not sure if that's because I'm using the wrong code or that that warning should be disabled or whatever. I though you took care of this with the checkin of the build fixes for Windows but I may be wrong on that. cheers, roel
