Project Odin: daily builds are back

As promised some days ago the Odin daily builds are back! When the changelog gets updated the daily builds will be created automatically (once a day :-).

You can get them directly from

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/Daily/

Notes for developers:
We've switched from GCC 3.0.3 to GCC 3.2.1 for compiling NTDLL. More Odin dlls (like MSVCRT) will require GCC in the future. CVS contains a detailed description on how to setup the GCC 3.2.1 build environment.

Odin Homepage: http://odin.netlabs.org

You are welcome to submit screenshots & reports of applications to the application database.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Sander Van Leewuen for the GCC changes and to Knut St. Osmundsen for setting up daily builds again!

Adrian Gschwend
Webmaster of netlabs.org
