Thread: [eSvn-devel] win32 binary

Hi eSvn developers,

Thank you for the great application, it is the best SVN frontend I know. I use 
it daily for all my SVN work. In Linux I use version 0.7.0 because I like the 
colouring of the directory nodes with changed files, a feature I can't do 
without.
On win32 I must use RapidSVN because the old eSvn binary doesn't work anymore 
after a SVN update. :-(

Is there a win32 binary for 0.7.0 available?
I can't compile C++ on win32 my self, I have no win32 C++ development 
environment, I am a Pascal freak. :-)
see:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/

Do you plan to merge the 0.7.0 changed directory colouring feature to trunk?
I found that trunk is unchanged since 6 months but there is action in 
branches. How is the project organised, which are the future plans?

I added eSvn to ohloh:

If you like please check if the given information is correct.

Thanks a lot.

Martin

A copy of the mails with Igor Kovalenko:

Martin Schreiber:

Hi,
I try to get into contact with the eSvn developers, I got no
answer from jd_dumont, so you are the next on the list. :-)
Please have a look into your mailing list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=200801221932.46148.fpmse%40bluewin.ch&forum_name=esvn-devel

Igor Kovalenko:

We have since migrated to sf.net repository, and at the time
merging 0.7.0 changes was not an option, it seems better to
port to qt4. I'm working on the port.

As for win32 binaries - I do not have win32 environment either.
Though it should build right out of the box.

Martin Schreiber:

Hi Igor,
Thanks for the answer. May I copy your mail to the mailing list? Possibly
someone who has a win32 development environment can build and post a binary
package. You could additionally add a request to the eSvn Sourceforge
frontpage, I don't think much people read the mailing list. :-)
The colored directory icons of 0.7 are a big help in the the daily work with
SVN. With the colored icons it is for example possible to know at a glance if
there are accidentionally changed files.

Igor Kovalenko:

No problem :)
In the past there were even people with licensed Qt3 to make win32
builds available.

BTW why don't you just install cygwin or mingw and try it for yourself :)

Martin Schreiber:

I have cygwin and mingw installed. As you know, I am a Pascal guy and C++ 
development on Windows with cygwin is a hard business. I had a Linux->Windows 
cross compiling environment, but it is broken and I have no nerves to fix it. 
For things which are compiled by the FPC Pascal compiler in seconds gcc needs 
hours...
