Hi Mattias,
I don't think the naming will be the hard part. I don't know if this
is hard at all. I've been resistive mostly because the currently lean
implementation of cpack in our source/script tree will get cluttered
with IF(WIN32)..ELSE...ENDIF blocks. Maintainability and readability
will suffer.
I totally agree, there is a balance to be struck, and I totally leave it
up to the actual people working on the CMakeLists (i.e. you ;-) ) to
tell me what an acceptable balance is.
Am I right in that what we want (on windows) is
libopenscenegraph-<ver>-win32-x86-vc80sp1.tgz with release dlls
libopenscenegraph-<ver>-win32-x86-cv80sp1-dev.tgz with debug dlls, rel
and debug libs, headers
or is it
libopenscenegraph-<ver>-win32-x86-vc80sp1-release.tgz with release dlls
libopenscenegraph-<ver>-win32-x86-vc80sp1-debug.tgz with debug dlls
libopenscenegraph-<ver>-win32-x86-cv80sp1-dev-release.tgz with release
libs and headers
libopenscenegraph-<ver>-win32-x86-cv80sp1-dev-debug.tgz with debug
libs and headers
I would say that the former looks better while the latter will
certainly be easier to get/less intrusive on our CMakeLists. I'm not
sure the former is possible at all given the current functionality in
cpack.
Those are indeed the two options we have, and the first one is easier
for the user downloading but harder (impossible?) to implement, while
the second one is easier to implement but will require it to be clear
what people need to download to be able to develop applications
correctly on Windows (assuming they don't want to build OSG themselves).
Have you had a look at the DJGPP zip-picker link I sent before?
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html
If we go with the second option, I could see something like that on the
OSG web site. It will make a customized list of download links based on
the answers to a few questions about what they want to do. So the second
option is OK in my book, and I volunteer to make that web page (maybe
not in time for 2.8 if it's released before the holidays, but shortly
after sure).
J-S
