Baeseman, Cliff

I relize there is a problem with a dated install but it would really only need to
be done when the compiler changed which has not been very often recently. Hell I don't want for it to change the ole ppc386 has been good to me lately.

Hey,

Could someone make a install shield package of the source tree? This would be a great thing for the win32 guys. I would do it myself but I am making to much progress with the QT stuff to get side tracked with it for now.

Packages like CVS and make should be put in also and It would be cool to automatically add the export paths and such.

It would be too dated. I can make one (using Wise) but that would be good for today. In a week the source would be very outdated given the development being done. For example had I done it last Friday everything that you just put in for Qt wouldn't be there even though the site might talk about it. I don't have time to keep updating it every other day or so. When Lazarus is more stable and FPC is at a 1.0 release stage then we can make an full blown install. Any other opinions? If the general consensus is that we should have one then I will do it. Other wise I recommend that we wait.

I also think that this should be for binaries only, since the sources evolve too fast.

It would be too dated. I can make one (using Wise) but that would be good for today. In a week the source would be very outdated given the development being done. For example had I done it last Friday everything that you just put in for Qt wouldn't be there even though the site might talk about it. I don't have time to keep updating it every other day or so. When Lazarus is more stable and FPC is at a 1.0 release stage then we can make an full blown install.

Any other opinions? If the general consensus is that we should have one then I will do it. Other wise I recommend that we wait.

It should be a user option to upgrade sources on install as current sources may not even compile, esp under windows which gets broken even more than the linux part. At least it would give the new user that rosy feeling of a working setup before it all breaks for one reason or another. I have Install Shield as well so can do some of this if required Peter
