Re: [Zinf-devel] Zinf, MSVC 6.0 and win32 video

[Bobber C. <bob...@gm...>]

Dear David,

I'm glad to hear voice from zinf dev :-)

We had compiled 2.2.1 with msvc 6 and STLport. Also we had modified cvs
version and compiled many modules with msvc 6. But I find win32 code on cvs
is old and not sync with gtk code. We hesitate to choose 2.2.1 or cvs
version. 2.2.1 worked but it's old, while cvs version need some change to
make it work.

Could you please tell me different between 2.2.1 and cvs version?

Bests,
Bobber Cheng
