My experience with created a Makefile that builds a very complete MacOS X Pd Installer from CVS just by typing "make" has inspired me to start thinking about doing the same for Windows. But I have basically no experience with MS Visual Studio and don't really want to learn it.
Would it possible to use a free compiler like MinGW or CygWin, instead of M$ Visual Studio?
MinGW sounds like the way to go. Then you don't need the cygwin1.dll. Plus MinGW has working pthreads, so the objects that use pthreads can run on windows.
Anyone want to help? This is not an immediate project for me, but probably this fall or winter. I just wanted to get the idea out there.
Several months ago, I wrote a big spec file for Mandrake Linux. I'd be willing to help, and maybe at the end there will be a unified makefile and installers for most platforms.
Guenter's been cranking away on the Debian packages, and I am finishing up my MacOS X installer. We just need to get RPMs in the CVS and a Windows Installer and we'll have all the major platforms covered.
My idea is to have Makefiles that generate all of these various packages, so that when we have a new release, like today with 0.37, the release person (currently me) can just cvs checkout everything, and type 'make' in the directories for the various packages, and end up with packages that are ready to post on the website. This is working for Debian and MacOS X.
Maybe you could start by doing this for RPMs? Then later, we start in on Windows...
