Under Windows it's better to compile directly from source code when
possible rather than using precompiled binaires, why:
- different compilers support (VC++7.1 but soon VC++8)
- 32bits/64bits, soon or later we will have to provide a 64bits version
under Windows
- windows CE target
- debugging reason (you get the .PDB files if you compile it by your own)
- sometimes it doesn't take that much space (GSM, Speex, PortAudio,
cURL...) compare to binaries.
Under Windows we still have a lot of problems with libraries that are
compiled using mingw for debugging. Ideally Gaim, OpenSSL and FFmpeg
should be compiled using VC++
I think that is important to have the single developer/packager to
choose whether he wants to use a system library or not (== command
line switch)
If not, there should be the choice of using sources uploaded in the
3rdparty tree or, for those using a correct combination of compilers /
versions, precompiled binaries.
