Hello,
is 0.32 the correct number? The current development version is 0.33; or do you
use some kind of backport strategy?
Building binaries for Windows - Part I:
==========================================
If have tested the current development version (rev. 866) with the newest GNAT
for Windows (20150428-49).
There is a linker error:
-------------------------------------------------
gnatlink ghdl_jit.ali -O -g -o ghdl.exe grt-cbinding.o clock.o grt-cvpi.o
memsegs_c.o win32.o -Wl,--stack,8404992

gnatlink: error when calling C:\Tools\GNAT\2015\bin\gcc.exe
gnatmake: *** link failed.
Oops, I have to update win32.c
My last (successful) compile test with GNAT 2015 and GHDL was rev. 856.
Building binaries for Windows - Part II:
==========================================
The docs say it's only possible to compile GHDL for Windows with mcode backend.
Recently I found
LLVM for Windows. Is it compatible and now possible to build it for LLVM
backend, too?
It is possible to build with llvm or gcc backend (ie there is no
fundamental blocking reason) but this is much harder. As I am not a
Windows specialist, I have never tried.
Building binaries for Windows - Part III:
==========================================
The winbuild.ps1 script is able to create a zip file (binaries + VHDL packages)
for the delivery.
.\winbuild.ps1 -CreatePackage -Zip
Shall I create an install script, which is embedded into the zip file?
Possible tasks for such a script:
- Install (copy into a destination folder; register in PATH)
- Uninstall (delete folder)
- Update (remove old files, copy new files)
I think NSIS support is not needed any more. I also looked into WIX (Windows
Installer XML),
it's nice but a bit too complex for just doing xcopy deployment.
Isn't an installer the common usage on Windows ?
