Hi Vijay,
Great work !
Regarding using mingw, I think I already use the same setting but using qt creator. I haven't tried building using command line yet . I am out of station now . Will check and give u more details once I am back on monday.

Regarding vc++ project file, I use version 2008 and sometimes version 2005 from another machine. I am not sure which version of it I uploaded last, but it doesn't matter, u can use which ever version of project file works for u.
I will checkin separate project file versions later.

regards,
Mugunth

Hi,

Please find the update for the build/release infra dev work.

--> Successfully able to build ekappaai.exe using "qmake" and
"mingw32-make.exe" on command line. "qmake" comes bundled with QT sdk and
mingw32-make.exe comes with QT creator.

Thou we can discard the dependency of QT creator by using mingw
installed.(Which is a bit time consuming and confusing, so thought of going
on with QT creator bundled win32 make.) Plz suggest/comment.

--> Tried building ekhook.dll using devnenv(command line), but fails with
the error as below.

<ERROR>

E:\ekalapaai\source\ekhook>devenv /rebuild release ekhook.sln /out log.txt

The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of
this application and cannot be opened.
The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error

E:\ekalapaai\source\ekhook>

<ERROR>

Assuming above failure can be fixed if I know the exact version of VC being
used to create sln file. I am using VC2005 which was working earlier on #29.
I am building/working with #30.

Planning to write an ANT around for the build system which will build and
create installer(NSIS) in a single click provided all the required
underlying infra is already installed.(VC, QT SDK and QT creator and of
course ANT with JAVA to run ant script).

Already started working on the ANT file and would update the group soon
about the same.

Please comment on the VC version and in case of any issue.concern.

Regards,
-Vijay.
