Hi john,<br><br>this is exactly what the project needs to make improvements. i have added issues you have<br>noted to the project tasks list.<br><br><a href="http://code.google.com/p/admb-project/issues/list">http://code.google.com/p/admb-project/issues/list</a><br>
<br>you will also see a issue for the inno setup. if you haven't noticed, Dave Fournier has already provided a <br>ADMB windows installer which does use Inno setup.<br><br><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/admb-users/browse_frm/thread/eb9e4e6fc79fd398">http://groups.google.com/group/admb-users/browse_frm/thread/eb9e4e6fc79fd398</a><br>
<br>at the moment we are focusing on installing and configuring the automated build and tests servers<br>for ADMB. once that is done, the Inno setup scripts from Fournier will be used for the windows installer.<br>we ask for your patience.<br>
<br>If you would like to contribute more to the project, please let us know.<br><br>Johnoel<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 10:30 PM, Schnute, Jon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Jon.Schnute@dfo-mpo.gc.ca">Jon.Schnute@dfo-mpo.gc.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Windows with MinGW. I'm pleased to report that it works, but not without<br>
a few difficulties. The attached report explains exactly what happened.<br>
In particular, Step 5 resolves the problem with "cat" reported by Tony<br>
Booth earlier today.<br>
<br>
Hopefully, everyone who gets this message will also get the attached PDF<br>
file. If you have problems, let me know and I can send it again.<br>
<br>
Please note that I have two questions for which I'd like answers.<br>
Probably you compiler gurus can answer Question 1 instantly. I hope the<br>
ADMB Project gurus think carefully about my Question 2 because it points<br>
the way toward contributions that users can make, even at this early<br>
stage before the source code can be released.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Jon<br>
