Re: [Nel] Pre-built binaries

A pre-built SDK release would be perfect, but I guess this can't happen until the API is frozen. This way, anyone could come along, install the pre-built SDK and begin writing some software without having to compile everything that Nel relies on. Of course, this is just my opinion, so please feel free to ignore it as you wish! :)

This product looks incredibly interesting, so I think I'll wait until the API is frozen until I try to develop something. Good luck with Nel!

Thanks
Mike

It would be great if you could release pre-built binaries for Nevrax for people to try. I just three hours compiling everything, only to find that there is no data for the test program cluster_viewer. I know this is expecting and asking a lot, so forgive me, as I'm just frustrated having spent so long for so little gain.

I made a binary release : http://zerodeux.net/misc/nel/bin/

However it's too big, because NeL currently uses static linking under Windows. I'm not distributing the '.lib' files, so it's not a developer's SDK.

So here I'm back on a good old debate : DLL support for NeL/Windows ! :)

The facts : we have to add a NEL_API blurb (= a macro) in front of every class declarations and template specializations. Not a big deal, but would save a huge bunch of bytes for distribution purposes.

My concrete proposition : a patch against NeL Misc headers and a modified nel.vcproj which generates both static and dynamic libraries. So we could easily see if everything goes smoothly (I don't see how it could interfere with the current build anyway), and generalize this habbit progressively.

Nevrax people, are you willing to try this ?
