Hi all, I updated the developer installation script setup-cvs.py to support not only linux, but also windows. Currently setup-cvs.py creates a bash script for copying files and creating links. File system links are not supported by windows, so I made the following changes: - Use __path__ statement to link modules instead of using file system links - Copy images and other data files instead of linking them. Additional I execute commands directly instead of writing them to a script. I have the following questions: a) Is there a better way to startup gnue in windows than using batch files? (f.e. gfcvs.bat) b) Should the gnue script directory be added to the default path? c) Although it is a developer install: How about creating registry settings for .gfd etc. files. Finally I propose to change the name setup-cvs.py to setup-devel.py. Any feedback on this idea is welcome. Thanks, Jan
