Hi Sukender,
1. Both debug and release packages contain generated documentation (So you have a "Overwrite file?" prompt from the unarchiver une unziping both). Do you think we should disable the inclusion (or building) of the doc when in debug, or is it safer to keep as it is?
I would vote for a different approach: upload separate packages instead of the -all package. That way people can download what they need, and "automatically" the documentation will not be there twice.
But if we really want to keep the -all package as the official one, then I would say that only the debug package should contain the docs. To do any development on Windows you need both the release and debug packages, but if you only want to run osgviewer you will only download release, and in that case the docs are of no use to you.
2. I saw that "Cygwin" and "nmake" sections on http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/PackageMaintainers ... Is there any difference between *binaries* generated from MinGW-gcc and Cygwin-gcc? And for nmake, I guess it uses the MSVC compiler, right? So binaries are not different from "pure" MSVC ones, or am I wrong? This could be confusing: if you use an "nmake" build, will this be a VC7, VC8, or VC9 one? Moreover, I thought that Cygwin, MinGW and nmake packages are named against the compiler (it shows "gcc" and "vc" in the name). So I suggest these sections to be removed, but I just need confirmation.
I'm the one who put those sections, I don't even know if they're needed. You could remove them and someone else can add them in the future if they're really needed. And yes, someone else (Mattias?) said that nmake will use msvc to build so it's the same as msvc, so we can just remove that one.
Thanks, J-S -- ______________________________________________________ Jean-Sebastien Guay [email protected] http://www.cm-labs.com/ http://whitestar02.webhop.org/ _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
