Not really. Ideally, that kind of thing needs a native environment or you could get weird results.

I’m not really seeing much in the commit log. Even the changes necessary to the Windows API and for C++20 compliance look relatively benign so I’m not sure why it works in 0.6.3 but not in 0.7.0. Right now, the best I can say is that the ongoing…[Read more]

Okay, I pulled the release off of GitHub. I’ll update the threads in the morning.

In all likelihood, ill probably hold off on doing another release until after the overhaul has made more progress due to how unwieldy the code is at the moment

Sigh. Okay, I’ll put it on ice as soon as I get to the computer — probably tomorrow. Not sure what’s going on but I’ll take a look at the changes and see if they enlighten me. If not, it’ll probably stay in alpha until I finish modernizing the code as it should go away as we switch GUI toolkits and get rid of the nonstandard stuff, as well as f…[Read more]

Are you able to reproduce issue #38? Since it sounds like 0.6.3 is working, that mostly narrows it down to one of two things: missing Unicode support (not likely as abot is using ASCII) or the Windows API updates that had to be done. It also sounds similar to an issue I found while packaging 0.6.3 and put on the back burner as it was mostly worked…[Read more]

And 0.7.0 has been released 🙂

And all of the appropriate announcements have been made 🙂

Nope. Wasn’t able to find much on the community forums: just about everything I found dealt with doing restoration on your own, which isn’t feasible for me. I’ll probably need to reach out to that list and see what they say

In related news, this got announced last week:…[Read more]

Sure, we can mirror it. That would definitely help.

Redistribution is definitely allowed per the license:
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code…[Read more]

So, new error today: looks like SourceForge is blocking the automatic download of DevIL from the CI but I can grab it fine with wget locally. Will need to come up with a new way of getting it. I’d rather not add DevIL back into the repository if I can help it. And I was just about to publish version 0.7.0, too 🙁

Looks like we have msitools over here. Will need to look into it

Looks like the fee is only required if the organization is making money so we should be good for now. 🙂

The biggest blocker to having support for other compilers at the moment is the generated code. VS uses its Class Wizard to generate it which isn’t supported by other setups.…[Read more]

MSIX is for the Windows Store as opposed to a standard downloadable installer. May be something to consider down the road, however. It would require more work to get things running and I’m not entirely sure how to set the CI up for it. We can certainly add it to the tracker, though, as a long-term goal. It took Gimp years before they submitted it…[Read more]

I have yet to watch Sweeney Todd. Missed out on the stage version, too. 🙁

Really need to fix that

Florida oranges aren’t doing so hot lately. Citrus greening is hitting the state pretty hard, even home grown ones. On the bright side, the fig trees are doing great

I generally don’t have issues with the wildlife beating me edibles in the wild:…[Read more]

It looks like you can use wine cmd <batchfile>.bat to run it under wine but I don’t currently have Wine installed.

Should run the same on Windows server as it does on regular Windows. Just a thought: any plans on a PowerShell version? It looks like Microsoft is trying to replace the batchfile language with PowerShell scripts.

Yeah, we may need to forgo CPack as its feature set seems rather limiting. Its Inno support does look better than its WiX support, even though it is very much in the early stages (the docs definitely need some proof-reading). Wouldn’t give us the pretty MSI integration but the docs on using WiX (even the ones on the official Firegiant site) aren’t…[Read more]

CMake sets up their shortcuts via template files: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/tree/master/Utilities/Release/WiX?ref_type=heads

Not yet sure how they do it, I’m still analyzing things. It would help if this stuff were documented but alas.

Gimp, on the other hand, uses Inno Setup (as does LOOT) but Inno doesn’t create MSI files, which…[Read more]

CPack has an option, CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE, to add a WiX XML fragment to the files. We may be able to leverage that feature. Will take a look at that article when I get the chance and will poke around the web some as well. 🙂

Okay, made those changes: https://github.com/deathssoul/MWEdit/actions/runs/18993040962

Perfect! Will get that fixed and then we can do a final test before the version bump and the update script test 🙂

No idea how to get the executable in the root of the MWEdit directory using CPack but I’ll add it to the wishlist!

Did the shortcuts work before? We definitely want the options. Apologies, the shortcuts are probably the least documented part of CPack.

Does the license show up properly now?

Okay, here’s a new attempt: https://github.com/deathssoul/MWEdit/actions/runs/18967509920

It should put all files in the bin directory (will add a note to look for the extra data files elsewhere on the tracker later) and hopefully it fixes the issues with desktop shortcuts and Start Menu entries. I also changed the LICENSE file to LICENSE.txt as…[Read more]

Thanks. That’s probably due to me using the DATA file type. The install system on CMake is poorly documented for anything other than *nix, sadly. I may be able to force them into the same directory, will look into it. Eventually, we may want a manifest file to go with the executable so that we can put the DLLs wherever we want. Does Microsoft…[Read more]
