[SIP-devel] I'll be working today

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Hello, world!

I'll be working in SIP all day long today. Mainly, I will be autoconfiscating SIP,
that is, make the building process independent from Scilab "Makeso.incl" file, by using
autoconf/automake/libtool directly.  The Scilab build makefile has some problems:
	1) It changes between different scilab versions (binaries/build-from-source/cvs)
	2) It is tailored for those making small packages for Scilab

I want to be able to build SIP easily under windows, using something like MinGW (www.mingw.org).
It's awful to use BCC5 every time to build a binary sip package for Windows. It will be
better to just sit under windows with mingw installed, and type: "configure; make"
I also want to be able to EASILY build static versions of SIP for those having lots of
disk space and little patience to install ImageMagick separately.

This will be a great step towards simplifying SIP installation and binaries distribution.


Cristian and Vasileios, how are you doing? If there's anything I can help today, I'll be
online.

Cheers,
Ricardo.
