In order to determine what they are, the end user must download the package and list its contents. I installed msysDTK because it appeared to be benign (but useful), but I get the impression that msysDVLPR replaces the MinGW compilation environment with a new one which is intended to build MSYS components. I have no intention to tie the built product to any special MinGW/MSYS DLLs. My objective is to offer ImageMagick users an alternative to using the expensive Visual C++ compiler if they want to compile for Windows. I should be able to tell users to download and install MinGW X.X and MSYS X.X.X, start MSYS, type "./configure --enable-shared", 'make', 'make install', and go have fun. It shouldn't be necessary for users to install more packages than that. Bob ====================================== Bob Friesenhahn bfr...@si... http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen |
