[Marble-devel] New experimental Windows setup for Marble 0.9.2

[Christophe Leske]

Hi,

I created a new Windows setup with the current version of marble in the 
SVN using the method outlined in my previous post. I would appreciate it 
if you could give it a spin and report any errors or problems you might 
have with it:

http://www.multimedial.de/share/KDE/Setup.exe (v0.9.2, it is 20 Mb in 
size, will be up  in 5 minutes)



There are two new DLLs which need to be added to the package, btw. One 
being phonon4.dll (what for? yet it complains about it missing if it is 
not there), as well as QtXMLPatterns4.dll.

My experimental version was built using optimized version of the JPEG 
Dll, as well as optimization switches when compiling the marble project 
itself. I get the impression as if it is a bit faster than the normal 
build of Marble 0.8.0 on Windows?

Switches used for the build were:
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="/Ox /GL /arch:SSE2 /MP"

which means:
/Ox = full optimizations
/GL = program optimization at link time (?)
/arch:SSE2 = use of SSE2 commands if available (does that make any sense?)
/MP = multiprocessor compiling (for using multiple cores when compiling 
the source - should be faster if you got a multicore C
It does contain a new map ("NaturalEarth"), as well as some new plugins 
for loading new image formats (gif, tif, mng (=png?)), all of them 
optimized for speed.



Again, this is no official build, just my experiments. I would like to 
support the Marble project with regurlar Windows builds in the future, 
though, if possible.


Have fun,

Christophe Leske
