OS: winXP.
HW: Laptop, Pentium M.

I have experienced the same issue with all 602 betas.

Some more info:
- I use the mingw package (not sure it matters),
- I always uninstall the previous version before installing the new one,
- Install path c:\upp,
- MyApps path c:\MyApps.

There are two source trees at sourceforge cvs, uppsrc and upp (which contains a directory called uppsrc).

These directories don't actually look like they contain the beta software.

Are you folks using the cvs? (I wish you would, then I might be able to contribute in a meaningful way). If you are, what is the directory to use?

Unfortunately not. The the time, CVS was feeded during snapshot releases, but that did not happened for some time now.

To obtain fresh sources, download latest src package from files (there are always fresh sources each week).

If find a bug or add a feature, post patch to the forum (do not bother with .diff, just post altered file - we will review changes before applying anyway).

Hm, still unable to reproduce, please tolerate some more questions...

BTW, what is your memory (page file)? (installer consumes as much as 150MB - but pagefile should take care about it).

Do you have any "non-standard" features in XP? (Like alternative themes or something like that)?

Well, from the latest zip file I get the following error. *** edit *** Embarassed whoops. It looks like the error is on my system. Forget about it. ******

(deleted)


It looks like the Makefile was hand crafted. Would you folks be interested in autoconf and friends. It would be easier to maintain.

Nope, Makefile is generated. We are not using makefiles for development, just generating one for release (mostly for porting experiments).

However, it would nice to find a way how to integrate Makefile with autoconf.

My system is gentoo linux.
I'm using moduler X, and the error I'm having is caused by
/usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:42:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

Inside the file is
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H


Looking at the gentoo forums it appears that ft2build.h is supposed to have a macro. (I don't see it in my copy).
I'm going to play with it a bit to see what is going on.

I'm a developer and I actively develop on Windows/Linux and recently Palm and Pocket PC's. I normally use Borland tools, but for the palm I use Code Warrior, and Pocket PC I'm starting to use VS 2005.

Your system looks very interesting. I'm still learning it, but it looks like we use many similar methodologies, and some new ones that I will be examining closer. Smile Good work.

I'm going to change the default installer to nullsoft one. I've already made the setup file and it seems to work well. I will public an experimental beta with new installer soon..

It is a good idea, however I am afraid the crashing is not installer related (still investigating the issue).

Yes, this is what I am thinking too. But having well-known installer allow us to be 99% sure that things like that one is really not installer realated.

Now I would like to know your opinion about changes I wanted to do in installer:

1. One installer - no more separate mingw, win and src files, just upp-version.exe
2. Ability to select components to be installed (full (ide, sources, mingw), ide+sources, sources.
3. Licence agreement (that would require to disable asking about licence inside theide.exe).
4. Ability to make a choice about running theide.exe at the end of installation

Well, unless you plan some "downloading" installer, 1. has significant disadvantage as it would force many users to download larger installation package than they need to.

One thing I would certainly welcome is better compresion - Dev-C++ is much smaller with mingw included (and they include similar stuff to us).

Oh, please No! I have 3 versions of MinGW on my system right now (for testing), and don't want a 4th. I'm guessing that most routine developers using MinGW would prefer the download without MinGW (I'm guessing it would be >70% of the download).

What installer were you using before? I've used the INNO installer and it seems pretty good, though I'm not sure how good the compression is.
Cheers
