So if we were to remove the winbuild directory altogether, is there anything we would lose? Anything which wouldn't work as good as the hand-made ones? If not, I suggest we do so (or move the dir into "unused"), and put a note in the README file. And a simple guide (just a few lines) in README.cmake for generating the project file(s). Does that sound fair enough to everyone? > Anyway, I'm not going to maintain the MSVC hand made project files but if > somebody wants to do so, I don't mind. Yeah, I would also prefer not having to update more build systems. // David _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
