<div>Hi Marian,<br>
Thank you for the answer. I think some MacOSX compatibility changes has
made it mandatory. OK!<br>
<br>
I'm going to fix these problems in Windows build:<br>
1. Detecting the correct ODE flags from its library name</div>

<div>2. Copying required dlls (and maybe some extra dlls) to the
bin/
directory automatically</div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
Thank for that. Working really good :) . From my experience on
different operating systems (XP, Vista and 7), rcssserver3d sometimes
needs also msvcrt-ruby18.dll (or msvcrt-ruby191.dll). <br>
</div>
</div>

OK, I'll try to include it too.<br>

<div>Also I have question about directory bin. Actually all this
external libraries are copying into bin/ directory. I think this
directory is primary for executable files. Maybe it would be better
copy this files to the directory lib/ (etc. lib/others , lib/external
or else). What do you think?<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
Yes, that would be cleaner. But, a new directory means one more
directory to add to path :(, or maybe we might use the lib/ directory
itself... (IMHO, all of them has a 'dirty' part, and so they are almost
identical solutions for me).<br>
What's your opinions about it? <br>

3. Add a .bat file for executable files to set correct PATH so that
they can find required simspark/rcssserver3d dlls. (or maybe setting
system environment variables in the installer). <br>
</div>

Good idea. Last year (16.9.08) I wrote email to Markus (Rollman) about
to create a script, who copy all project files (old rcssserver3d v0.6
in CVS). Markus prefer *.cmd file instead of *.bat file (this
associeates the script with <span class="il">cmd</span>.exe instead of
the old <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://command.com">command.com</a>
interpreter).<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
OK, I renamed .bat extensions to .cmd. Thanks! I didn't know about it :)<br>
<br>

<div>Also could we provide the external libraries as a separate
downloadable .zip? Because creating of libs / dlls takes a lot of time.
<br>
</div>

Now, we can create working binary installers for simspark and
rcssserver3d (the only missing part is that rcssserver3d does not check
to see if simspark is installed, which can be done by checking simspark
registry key in the installer.). So, I'm going to release these binary
packages officially alongside other packages. And I think most users
are expected to use those binary packages instead of compiling from
source, and therefore releasing external libraries separately won't be
that important. (notice that rcssserver3d installer includes required
external .dll files). <br>
Also, if someone wants to compile simspark and rcssserver3d on Windows
himself, he'll need header files of those libraries too and either we
should release those header files in addition to libraries or he should
make sure that the libraries match the header files and use the same
settings. <br>
So in my opinion, with the availability of windows binary installers
there won't be much need for releasing those external libraries as a
separate package. What do you think?<br>
<br>
<br>
A bit off-topic: as of now, you should be able to install simspark and
rcssserver3d in any location you like when using the installer in
Windows. <br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>

<br>
And something I forgot last night: If you build the PACKAGE project in
VS, it'll create both a .zip package and also an .exe installer package
for the project. (You'll end up with 2 installers, one for simspark and
another for rcssserver3d).<br>
<br>
Good luck and thank you Marian and Yuan for your interest!<br>
