Compilement of 1.7.4

Post by aliirmak »

Hi again,

When I dig the opensees website i saw there are two types of source codes. From the start, i want to compile the source in a windows environment.

There are two types of stable versions one is unix and the other one is win32 version. as far as i remember, before publish of win32 version, admins advised us to use unix version to compile source code. now we have a win32 version. what is the main difference between these two version?

The other type of the source code is developer version. Is the developer version up-to-date?

Which version of the code we should update through CVS if we want to? And when we update it , the source code turns into developer version automatically? Can i use for example windows stable version and update it through CVS?
Because that was the only way to compile the opensees source code...

the source code obtained in them is exactly the same, the windows one is just compressed in a zip format, the linux using tar and gzip.

the vesions obtained using the .zip and .gz files
are typically release versions. i no longer do intermediate releases as i have found all active developers use cvs.

the cvs version contains the very latest code and is not always stable. as most all the developers use linux ar mac os x, iit does not always compile under windows because the developers don't update the windows projects as needed.
