Ok, but what is the new open source batch tool of full value for replacement of imake.bat and others imakes?
The makefiles replace the batch files.
Do not try to use the batch files. Use the makefiles. They do much more than the batch files.
Yes, and this situation is very strange for me.
The main great feature of v3 series is open source.
So, I'd like to see and compile on my machine open source of v4 too, first of all.
Then we can effectively test the binaries, just almost in real time, every new build, which is 1249 now against of our 1234.
The alpha release isn't polished and complete. If you really want to stay up with the bleeding edge, then use the svn repository (which I think is what you're doing). The eubins that Jeremy and Shawn make available are equivalent to the "nightlies" that some other projects make available for those who wish to use the bleeding edge without having to compile themselves. As Derek mentioned, formal releases take time to create. They require checking, proofreading and announcements. We won't be making releases for every svn commit.
And in any case, imake.bat should not have been included as it is no longer in use for v4.
Again, Ok, but give us the replacement of full value for batch work with open source please.
Again. The makefiles are more than 'full value replacements' for the batch files. They'll build, test and install for you. For those involved in development, they're also handy in that they attempt to re-build the minimal amount based upon what has been changed. If you only edited one of the back end C files, for instance, it won't re-translate the front end.
