Now that the 0.13 branch looks like it is finished, I have pulled your
development repo (so as to be up to date), and started to look at Windows
support.
Needless to say, I have immediately hit the wx-config roadblock, since I
have compiled a release build of wxWidgets 2.9.3, and wx-config-win only
knows about debug builds.
I am leaning towards doing something with Eric's wx-config. There are a
couple of reasons for this:
- It keeps us in control of our own destiny;
- Haskell is a *much* more pleasant implementation language for a
utility which mainly does text processing than C++.
Does the group have an opinion on this? My feeling is that since the last
commit to wx-config-win was in 2006, it may be a while before fixes come
along, and even then, we will probably need to write the patches.
Regards
Jeremy
