Re: [xml] wrong compiler settings for MSVC in makefile



I have attached a patch to add a build option to configure.js called
"true_static" (for lack of a better name).  I am not sure of the correct
format for these patches - these were done using diff -c with output going
to the given .dif files.  All this patch does is sets the library compile
option to -ML if true_static is on and threads is not specified or -MT if
true_static is specified and threads is specified.  It will also append a
"d" to the option if debug is specified.

I am not sure what side-effects this will have on other parts of the
libraries.  All I can say is that everything works fine for the parts I use
(which is mostly the DOM tree stuff) when I build it this way.

As to the comments on the usefulness of this patch, the answer is I don't
know.  We have customers who use various bare-bones Windows implementations
who want it this way.  Personally, I prefer to link my compiler application
executable against the static non-threaded library because it does not
require thread support and I prefer a solid executable that can be run on
any Windows 95 and up platform without having to deal with DLL versions and
paths and registries and all that other jazz.

Ed Day

If someone would prepare a patch and provide configure.js
option to change runtime then I would be really really really
glad if multithreaded runtime would be used by default.

Don't worry about that. If people want to use obsoleted runtime, I have
nothing against it. More correctly, I don't care. If a patch is provided,
then I will apply it, I see no reason not to. But it will be an
alternative
behaviour which must be expicitly turned on. I won't change the default
runtime.

Ciao,
Igor
