[Schevo-devel] [INSTALL] - build.py parameter file

[Ilias Lazaridis]

May I suggest the following:

Create a parameter-file for build.py, which contains something like

REM SCHEVO_COMPILER msvc
SCHEVO_COMPILER mingw32

and all other, schevo specific path variables.

thus you would move some of the setup-hassle away from manual processing 
into the SVN.

-

the main (win32) setup-process would be:

Setup python.

Setup extensions.

Setup mingw.

Setup Qt

add standard system variables affecting the above.

-

[I don't know if python provides standard mechanisms for param-files]

modify "bparam.txt" [or however you name the file] to contain everything 
which is specific to schevo's usage of the above tools.

-

run build.py

-

The parameter-file ensures:

   * simpler installation
   * that multiple schevo installations can use different tools.

-

Sidenote: you should move the detailed instructions

http://schevo.org/wiki/GettingStartedUsingWindows#setting-environment-variables

to the bottom of the page (or into a subpage).
