Guys, I will make everything libraries for now, until frameworks are functioning. I have one of the libraries set up as a frameowork, but I'm using some "ifeq" statements to build it as a library on windows. I *could* continue to do this, but that doesn't seem really nice. ;)
The build dependencies have been cleaned up and everything builds in one pass on Windows now (none of Nicola's changes in the makefiles from before are present). I will probably convert the framework I spoke of earlier back to a library tonight and remove the ifeq stuff I added from the makefiles. Please let me know what you think about the new layout. --- Nicola Pero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks :-) > > We will try to support frameworks on all platforms (well, at least I > will).

It would be cool to support them on Windows, even if it is a hack, there are a number of programs which use them (for example ProjectCenter). Also some of the Backbone stuff and a few other apps I can think of. > Thanks Later, GJC Gregory John Casamento -- CEO/President Open Logic Corp.
