Win9x build/support of CB
killerbot:
but then we also have to adjust the CB cbp files/makefiles.
This is also part of my point, it should be possible to build both with very little changes, either you have 2 different directories where you have wx-ansi and wx-unicode, but then you need to change the cbp/make files. Or am I missing something, I feel my brain is giving up on me.
killerbot:
I am starting to think, that both ansi and unicode builds of WX can happen in the same wx project tree without renaming them, I suspect those import libs mentioned above that don't have an extra 'u' in their name to be unicode independent (no string manipulation).
Will try to build an ansi version and see what happens, crash boom bang or shaky da hippiediehop ?

I can tell you what happens... it works just fine. I am doing that regularly. :)

hah, finally a good answer ;-)
I was just scared when I have read the wiki several weeks ago.
So for now, I will skip testing an unicode build on win98 (since I don't have it, and had to bother someone else), I will also create ansi builds and try to test the bugfix with that (well have someone do it for me ;-) ).
Nevertheless, we should make up our minds how we are going to officialy provide the win9x customer base ...
duncanka:
Sigh...us poor 98 users...left in the dust, all alone with our sad, crippled machines... :(
Personally, I think that if C::B is really meant to be as cross-platform as possible, it only makes sense to have a build available for older versions of Windows, whether that be via libunicows or a separate ANSI build. But then, I'm biased.

Incidentally, Lieven and everyone else, I'm still happy to test stuff on 98, and help make sure that CB is in fact compatible with it.
