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

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... :))

It's a bit out of date.

[View More]them? That would be a real problem for me.
Haven't tested that in modern times, but the cygwin approach has been
used to build working Pikes for debugging in other places.

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.

As Marcus said, it's in the separate pike-tools module now.

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 …
[View More]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.

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".
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 …
[View More]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.

yvan
