[SIP-devel] Windows port of SIP has been uploaded

[Zhang C. <ch...@ma...>]

Hi,all

    I just uploaded a Zip file of Windows port SIP to our CVS server, 
because I don't know where I should upload it. This is a zip file not a 
binary installer, so you have to install it manually. But the process is 
very simple: just extract the zip file and copy the siptoolbox folder 
under the directory of Scilab_installation_path/contrib. Then run 
scilab, a menu named *toolboxed* on the menu bar should appear, click 
siptoolbox and test it please.

    Since the learning curve of NSIS and InnoSetup is steep, especially 
I want the installer can detect the existence of Scilab and ImageMagick 
automatically, I have to write my own functions to do the job. So this 
will take me some extra days to learn NSIS or InnoSetup.

    After a short consideration, I think zip file may be a good choice 
for the purpose to test SIP within Our team, because it's very easy for 
me to make a zip file. I'm eager to hear your comments and suggestions 
as early as possible.

Have fun!
