Judging by the contents of the ,v files, sdl-config.disabled,v should exist in Attic only, and sdl-config,v should not be in Attic...

Windows PDB:s
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 28 Aug '09

Does anyone remember what the problem with producing working PDBs from the Windows build was? I have a colleague with a Windows 7 crash that happens... sometimes. I'd like to send him a debug build so I don't have to decode an assembler trace. Has anyone tried since we switched to dll-modules?

(In case it's the first date, using the date of the next commit minus one second should work, except in the cases where there are several commits the same second (this is only the case for synthesized commits I think, CVS was never that fast... :))

Haven't tested that in modern times, but the cygwin approach has been used to build working Pikes for debugging in other places. >On the other hand, if the msvc approach still needs VC6.0 instead of a newer >version, this will be a dead end too, eventually. The MSVC approach relies on VC9 now a days, that's the one you get if you download the free Express edition from MS. That's the method I use. One virtualized Ubuntu for running the build process and a virtualized XP for the compiler. >And what about this rnctl pike script I'd need? I cannot find that anywhere >in the source.

You'll likely need the cygwin dll that you can distribute with your pike, but I agree that's less than ideal, and I haven't checked what license problems that includes. It's probably OK if you just want to do some testing though.

People have had some limited success with MinGW, and it's getting better all the time so I think that's the way to go for windows compilation. It "just" needs to sort out the remaining quirks and odds and ends, if I'm not mistaken. Personally I don't have any experience of that, though. The old method is admittedly exceedingly complex (and slow too). It has its roots in another era.. Once MinGW proves reliable it'll probably replace sprshd as the normal way of compilation, but unless MinGW can use the MS compiler, or at least the MS runtime lib, it'll probably stay around. If you have the time and will, you're more than welcome to give it a shot with MinGW. It'd be very appreciated.

>And what about this rnctl pike script I'd need? I cannot find that anywhere >in the source. Since Pike 7.1, the windows build tools have been moved out of the Pike main source tree and into one of its own. You can check it out with e.g. "svn co http://pike-svn.lysator.liu.se/Pike/nt-tools".

Well, it means someone knows how to compile it on Unix.

Right, which means it's own little configure hell on Windows. Is it planned to be included in the normal dist?

Is the DLL in question part of the standard GTK+ dist?

More questions about GTK2.SourceView
by Yvan Vander Sanden 24 Aug '09

Hi. I am still struggling with SourceView, on windows today. It seems the binary install for windows does not include it. Is there any specific reason for this? Since lots of other libraries are included in the binary, i don't see why gtksourceview is not. Thing is, if i want to make use of gtksourceview in my software, i force my (at the moment fictional) users to compile pike from source, instead of installing a binary. Which makes it much harder to use it. Or is there perhaps another way to use the GTK2.SourceView program, without recompiling pike? Could be I just don't know about it, since i'm only just learning to work with it. Regards, yvan -- Copyright only exists in the imagination of those who do not have any.
