[XBoard-devel] Back From Hibernation

[Mark Ioli]

Now where was I...

I have the new installer which uses NSIS just about ready, I think when 
we're ready for 4.2.8 we can try it out. I'd like to upload what I have 
for 4.2.7 for you to play with as well.

I've noticed that when I compile WinBoard I get an executable that is 
about 995K, Dan, is this what you get? I'm not sure why the exe in the 
current distribution is so much larger, whether it's the compiler or 
what. Since Microsoft has made their compiler tools free for download, 
we should be able to use the latest one to create a much smaller exe, 
and thus a much smaller install file.

I uploaded a makefile in CVS that will work in VS .NET, just some minor 
tweaks, named it msvc7.mak. I've been experimenting with various IDEs 
that have CVS integrated, the latest I've looked at is Eclipse, which 
seems pretty slick, just have to get the C/C++ module working with the 
MS make tools.

All I can think of for now, Dan I'll play with the analyze stuff you 
made as soon as I can.
