[CCC DEV] OSCON Prep: Windows Distribution, SVN Commit Rights, Winsparkle Integration

[Dave Gilmore]

Matt, Christian and Anyone else who is interested,

 

As you'll know I've been playing around with building the source on Windows,

 

And you'll also know about the issues I was having [1],

 

I've managed to fix and test all of these on a Windows XP SP3 Virtual
Machine,

 

I had to make some url changes which are not yet committed as I don't have
the permission to do so,

 

Can I either get permission to commit my changes or pass the changes to
someone else to commit?

 

A few other points / issues to note:

 

When executing build_occplug.sh there is some deprecated java calls - which
don't mess with the build process but probably should be changed - I can do
this if required,

 

The build_kroc.sh seemed to take a complete lifetime to finish it's
execution - I actually fell asleep at one point! (Lazy Student....),

 

I noticed a large number of unrecognised calls during the execution of this
script which might be an attributing factor,

 

The following message is displayed: Unrecognised options: --with-toolchain -
I'm not sure what that's all about - not investigated it fully yet, can
anyone shed a light on it?

 

If we can sort that out and retest I think we are pretty close to a usable
distribution based on the existing distribution of course something else
will crop up!

 

I have had a look at winsparkle integration and it couldn't be simpler and
would be happy to do this - though we'll need an xml (appcast) file on the
server which we want to get the updates from and I doubt I'll have access,

 

The Innosetup stuff also needs looked at so if someone can tell me where to
grab that from I can assist Christian or whoever,

 

I guess for now we need to figure out the Unrecognised options problem and
commit any changes I've made to the build script before looking at Innosetup
or Winsparkle,

 

Let me know what you think,

 

Cheers,

 

Dave
