Sources pack wont compile on linux because of DOS linebreaks
AlexiaDeath:
I could not agree more! offering a stable release is RIGHTTM and GOODTM!
IF the stable release sources are compilable and indeed STABLETM.
Witch is the point Im trying to make here.
When one downloads a STABLE sources pack one EXPECTS that the source in it itself is indeed COMPILABLE unless there is something wrong with ones system...

Whoa hold on no need to shout. :) There is one source pack for all OS's. The only thing is line endings. UNIX and Windows use a different style. As of RC2 the sources were compiled on Windows. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Therefore if you want to compile on BSD, Linux etc. you need to run dos2unix. :) It is pretty simple and this information is in the Wiki. :)

8) the information should be right next to the download or better yet offer two downloads...
