Re: [SIP-devel] SIP binary installer for windows (2)

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

Hi Zhang,

I tested the installer on a Windows XP machine, and I have to say,
it is really impressive!! Congratulations!

It detected my scilab and imagemagick versions properly, and the
"Toolboxes" menu appeared; and the toolbox loaded.

Now here's my first bug report: when running the TransMogrify demo,
Scilab simply crashes.

The help pages seem to be working fine. The only issue is with the
links: "help fftderiv", for example. Try clicking on the "curvature"
link, and you'll see a "sip_hacking" in the address. Maybe you forgot
to remove that address??

But the rest is pretty amazing! Thank you _so_ much... just to elevate
your morale: I was offered a job in Europe once because of my
activities with SIP!

Here are some minor remarks/ideas for us to discuss:

- Should we ship ImageMagick in the binary version of SIP? This is
because, in general, binaries require a very specific verison of DLLs.
If the user tries to use another version of Imagemagick, our SIP
binary might not work properly.

- Also, send us some notes / general guidelines on how to reproduce
what you did.

- After we release a stable windows binary, you can put your name in
the copyright notices, and I'll list it in the SIP website if you
want.


Thank you so much,
keep it up!
