Hi List!
After I repeatedly stumbled over not having the right form of the
zlib.dll on my computer (MSVC6: binary dll, all other MSVC: compile it
yourself from sources) and the setup target only downloads one of them,
it makes me think to drop the binary dll stuff completely and only use
the sources to compile it for all MSVC variants.
The only disadvantage I see is that MSVC 6 will have to compile itself,
which needs a little time. But as it's only 6 files or so, it's not that
much of a problem really and Gerald already thinks about switching to
2005EE anyway.
Changing this will ease up the Makefile.nmake files and remove problems
if you often switch between these compiler variants - which at least I
do from time to time.
Any objections against this?
I know I'm asking you to do yet more work, but I think adns needs the same
treatment.
And so on and so forth....
Better make a policy change and implement that. Is 2005EE the way to go?
Then lets do that.
Thanx,
Jaap
