We can include the redistributables when we make an installer, that's how
that is usually handled.

You need a client certificate, a server certificate, signed by a trusted
CA, and configure the example as documented in the README file for this
example to work. I adapted the example to make this message more clear.

We'll have to fix that. I don't think they require .bat files, as they
don't need any startup options.

Hmmm, can you file a bug report for that? Do you see the same problems with
the online simplechat?

I can't reproduce that. Do you see the same problems with the online
simplechat?

It's a pain to compile from a script (they don't use cmake ;-)). It's on
the todo list.

Problem on Windows: the .exe requires the .dll and those are automatically
searched in the cwd. That's why we put them in bin for now.

Planned, didn't want to make you wait much longer for first preview. I was
indeed planning to use MariaDB iso MySQL (Wt supports both).

Qt4 happens to be installed on my system. Maybe we shouldn't include this
example; the value is entirely in its source code

All our widgets should support LTR and RTL, so indeed it would be good if
we could demonstrate that. The choice between RTL and LTR currently has to
happen at startup (i.e. in the constructor of WApplication), so we'd need a
separate arabic example. Contribution welcomed!

Good suggestion, but I'm afraid it's a lot of work (unless generated by
cmake).

That's really like any other MSVS project. I know you hate it, but if you
read the example cmake file I provided, you'll see exactly what include
paths you have to set and what libraries you have to link to.

In Linker Input, specify the wt libraries you want to link to: wt.lib and
wthttp.lib for release builds, wtd.lib and wthttpd.lib for debug builds.

We can provide a similar package for MinGW, but I'm always confused about
what MinGW compiler I should use for maximum compatibility. I've tested
with two variants, as documented in the Wt wiki. Any suggestions?
