I reuploaded the package as http://gridflow.ca/download/packages/gridflow-9.13-win32-i386.zip
I only changed the README.
Okay, could you tell me if you are changing the sources, for having #from_pix working for example, I'm trying right now to run feedback_fractal.pd through gdb to see what's happening and will make a new thread with debug messages...
For having gdb, mingw has a new neat installer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
after installing, here is my gcc version:
$ gcc -v Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=c:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=c:/mingw/bin/../libexec/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/lto-wrapper.exe Target: mingw32 Configured with: ../gcc-4.5.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2 --enable-shared --enable-libgomp --disable-win32-registry --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --disable-werror --build=mingw32 --prefix=/mingw Thread model: win32 gcc version 4.5.2 (GCC)
now I have ggc 4.x ;)
In fact for an easy install, I've made into archive a bin folder
where I
put the DLL's and an extra folder where I put the gridflow folder,
then
we just have to unzip into the pd folder we want for installing all
the
stuff.
I didn't use that layout for this release, but it would be a possibility for next release (or even now), if we answered satisfactorily the question of where do we put the instructions for unpacking the file, because currently the only instructions for unpacking are inside the package. (it reminds me of an old joke...)
what about putting README.TXT along bin and extra folder at the root of the archive, or along a pd folder that contains bin and extra?
At the same time there is something I didn't think about, the admin level of windows >=6.0 doesn't allow to extract directly from the archive in c:\Program Files, but we have to unzip first and copy the folder into c:\Program Files (x86)\pd\

This won't happen for GridFlow 9.13, which is already supposed to be completed since feb 8th, but is still being worked on nearly two weeks later.
I'd like to figure it out for the release of GridFlow 9.14.

Seems difficult to figure that one out.

I'll look into that...
gcc version 4.5.2 (GCC) now I have ggc 4.x ;)
That'll make GF run somewhat faster. I didn't use my UNROLL_8 macro wherever I could use it. It's good that GCC 4 does it for me (previously, auto-unrolling was a lot more modest and usually couldn't apply to GF's loop.)

I could do this, but users will still be informed of the extraction trick after they extract the archive. But it isn't a big deal to extract the archive twice... just delete and try again.

aaaah, and what is it like in other versions of Windows ? (5.1, 7.0)
