[Developers] Big changes in Revision 1438

[Jon Schnute]

I've tested revisions 1444 and 1447 on Windows 7 using Msys and MinGW,
obtained independently from the Internet. The build process worked in both
cases with no problems.  Also, the executable files and scripts in
..\build\dist successfully converted .tpl files to .exe files.

 

In the process, I discovered a nasty problem with MinGW that stems from a
bug in Windows. It will occur if you connect and disconnect a USB drive
before using MinGW.

 

I'm planning to write installation instructions that document exactly what
I've done, along with a warning about the potential MinGW problem and its
resolution. I'll circulate this document when I have a draft.

 

I should add that Rowan Haigh, using the official QuickStart procedure on
revision 1444, encountered the problem with "banner.cpp" that I've described
in earlier email. When we have the opportunity, we'll check into this
further and send a bug report  if we can reproduce the problem.

 

Again, thanks to everyone for your good work cleaning up the code.

 

Jon

Hi all,

 

The ADMB build files have again been reworked and improved.  After getting

feedback, 

  * the build files have been simplified a bit more

    - Dave Fournier

  * works with Rtools (but not with Rtools->make)

    - Jon Schnute

  * should build in Windows if Msys or Rtools are in the system PATH

 

A lot of time and effort was spent by everyone to test and develop

the build scripts.  

 

Please test the installation by following documentation in

 

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/documentation/

 

Changes and QuickStart pages are in the the directory.

 

Thanks to everyone who participated in the testing.

 

Johnoel
