Hi, The 1.3-beta1 release of win-builds.org is now available.
This project creates a system to build and distribute for Windows from almost any system: *native* Windows, MSYS*, Cygwin and Linux. Everything is done through a portable package manager for easy installation, maintenance and update. This beta1 version means that tests on Windows have been conclusive, in particular for the fallback for POSIX symlinks on Windows. A video demonstration on Windows has been added to the website. It showcases a full installation from 0 to a toolchain with additional libs in as little as 4 minutes. Captions below the video explain the various steps (I found out the hard way there is no cross-browser subtitles for html5 videos): http://win-builds.org/demo.php Highlights of the 1.3 version: - updated GCC, mingw-w64 and other packages - fallbacks for POSIX symlink on Windows - almost exhaustive documentation - stabilization of the build system along with speed improvements - probably maintained for security updates I think the releases will move to a schedule which is roughly based on time: new major GCC versions come out every 6 months; the idea is to separate updates to GCC and the rest of the system, each one 3 months apart. This will help spread big changes over time. The website is available at: http://win-builds.org Since this version is still under development (although it is mostly stable), the default links are still for the 1.2 release; links for 1.3-beta1 are at: http://win-builds.org/1.3-beta1 For all issues, you can use the bugtracker at: http://win-builds.org/bugs/ -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
