Re-packaging of Microsoft Windows setup.exe for GNUe Tools 0.4.0

18th October 2002

People who have downloaded the Windows setup.exe version of the GNUe Tools 0.4.0 will have noticed that they don't work properly. This is not because of any bugs in the underlying code, but because of problems in the packaging. Bajusz Tamas has now very kindly re-packaged the GNUe Tools setup.exe to fix these problems, and has also included some more database drivers and other goodies. We have uploaded this revised version to the website. You can download it from: http://www.gnuenterprise.org/downloads/current.php. A big thank you to Bajusz for all his work on this.


The only known bug at the moment (based on about half an hour's testing) is that the Connections form, which should allow you to edit the connections.conf file via a Form, doesn't currently seem to work. You will have to edit connections the "old fashioned" way by using a text editor on the connections.conf file (Hint: Using Wordpad rather than Notepad will save you a *lot* of grief with the end-of-line characters.)

Bajusz's READ.ME for this new package follows:

This is NOT a bugfix version, just a repackaging of released *.zip files! Differences from the original GNUe-Tools-0.4.0-setup.exe:

  1. added translations files
  2. two hacked files needed for McMillan (designer.Instance.py and designer.templates.__init__.py)
  3. added interbase/firebird, sapdb, appserver and configfile dbdrivers
  4. McMillan put mpr.dll from windows into build, i removed it...
  5. used console=1 in *.spec files, let people making bug reports :)
