The old method for checking free disk space overflows (returns a negative number) when the physical free disk space is bigger than 4G. So instead of comparing by byte, now we compare by K. The return type is also changed, from unsigned long to double.

1COMPILING THE EXPORTED COLLECTION INSTALLER
2-------------------------------------------
3
4There are two parts to this:
5
6- gssetup.exe, a 32-bit Windows program that is the actual installer
7- setup.exe, a 16-bit Windows program that checks the Windows version and then runs
8 gssetup.exe. On Windows 3.1/3.11 gssetup.exe will be run using Win32s.
9
10Both of these were originally created by George Buchanan on a very old Borland compiler
11that supported 16 bit Windows development. We no longer have such a compiler, so setup.exe
12cannot be recompiled. (The source for it is in the "really-really-old-stuff" directory.)
13
14The gssetup.exe program can be compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 4.2 on kohekohe:
15
161. C:\MSDEV\bin\VCVARS32.bat
172. nmake /f win32.mak (in the gsinstaller directory)
18
19Note: stlport.zip is required for compiling. This file is avaible in Greenstone SVN at http://svn.greenstone.org/gsdl/trunk/packages/windows/stlport/. Download and unzip the zip file, and change the include path in win32.mak accordingly.
