I totally agree, a set of libraries, binaries and headers in a separate project like dick proposed, and inkscape does, would be perfect. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs/trunk/files we could keep something like brian's winbuilder that builds everything, updates the bin, include, etc dirs... and re-uploads to bzr, would be great. May be it could be a split of winbuilder, and then winbuilder can be simplified to just fetch the libs & build. (It's just an idea for you brian, in the end winbuilder is your project) In Windows we also have the x32 / x64 issue, how do we handle that? Two sets of libraries in different directories? > Best Regards, Brian. > -- Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo http://www.nbee.es +34 636 52 25 69 skype: ajoajoajo
