I hope to spend time this weekend on the win32 build. I would
like very much to dump .dsp/.dsw prior to your tag. That means
some sort of .mak (simplified from the dsp output, I hope!) and
certainly sln/vcproj files that are modestly portable across
several more recent visual studio versions.
Also expecting 2.3.7 mod_fcgid should be ready to tag by Monday.
Would be great if they worked together :)
Slow down please. -0.5
Well - I'll commit something concrete to trunk and let people debate.
Which sln/vsproj? VC10?
I think dsw/dsp should stay. They are compatible with VC6-9, so they cover many
version ,
unlike VC10 that works only with VC10.
Right. Very foolish. Need studio 7+ compatible flavors. Morons.
No fear; I was going to cover all GUI's not EOL'ed yet, at least.
Granted one could call VC6& 7 surely dead though I still use VC6 for quick
builds on
occasion cause it compiles quickly (60-80 seconds) and needs no redist.
It makes no sense for the next version major. But the .mak files will build
under VC6 + SDK, or DDK + SDK + mladen hacks, or whatever.
There's nothing special dsp gives anyone anymore, except the export ability
we will replace. You will still be able to compile. Would urge you to look
at mladen's hacks if you want a modern compile plus classic msvcrt.
I respectfully disagree,
Due to the fact that right now, you have to convert to VC9 first, then
convert to VC10, I have some insight here that I am sure you do as well.
If you have done this, you may remember how long that last conversion
takes to accomplish. I can convert in VC9 from dsw/dsp in under a
minute. The last time I tried converting VC9 to VC10 it took a long,
long time. Minutes, many minutes.
I would have to assume converting up from VC7 would be same on VC9 as
converting 9 to 10. Even if not, from 7 to 10 would again, be a slow
process.
This was my technical reason behind my request to keep the dsw/dsp files
while also supplying VC10 sln/vcproj as well. This way, all are covered,
and no one has to wait a long time for the conversion. Sure, many are
EOL but none the less still in use.
I beg you to keep the dsw/dsp and just add in VC10 sln/vcproj. That covers
everyone. A
simple del /s *.sln *.vcp* will remove those VC10 files for those of us not
ready to move
to VC10 (till such time as php moves there).
We only lose the antique GUI. Nothing more.
and time as stated above
