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)
