Hm... and if I just pulled the default from the SVN and pasted it into my FO folder, would it work?

Alternately, there's no instructions on using cmake...

Depends... in a lot of cases it will, but there may have been some changes to the code designed to enable more content scripting options that may be incompatible with older versions. You may as well give it a shot.

You don't need CMake to build on Windows. Use the MSVC solution file in SVN with the Windows SDK.

Do I need the Visual C++ Compiler component? It's huge (600 MB) and it requires .NET Framework 4, which the installer for some reason says I don't have...

EDIT: I got cmake. What generator should I use? And where should I put the dependencies?

I don't know what that is specifically, but you need Visual Studio 2010 which includes a C++ compiler.

You don't need CMake. Get the FreeOrion SDK from sourceforge, update SVN and use the included MSVC 2010 solution file. Everything is where it's expected within the SDK. See the wiki compile page for more explanation.

It's been almost a month since the last test build was posted on sourceforge. Anything good that's worthy of posting a new one yet?

There hasn't been much code changes recently since I was travelling for a few weeks and have been otherwise busy, though a few issues with some condition evaluation were made. I might get around to making a new build this weekend, but most of the changes have been content-only.

Release candidate builds for FreeOrion v0.4.1 have been uploaded to sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeori ... n%200.4.1/

We're mainly interested in major bugs or relatively minor content fixes like stringtable updates with these candidates.

Are you going to post a news message on the FO main page like you did when the release candidates for 0.4 had been put up? So people who don't check the forums also take notice...
