Build.pl
The build.pl code in the source directory can be run to generate all of the necessary files, CABs and EXEs
- Checkout the latest copy
- Edit the version.txt and Common/Source/XCSoar.cpp version number (to match)
- (see MIPS problem below)
- Install ActiveState Perl if you don't already have it
- Run "build.pl" to build all platforms, or "build.pl PPC" or "PPC2002" or "PPC2003" for the individual ones.
- Take the output files (named correctly) from "dist" directory and upload them to the sourceforge server.

MIPS Problem
MIPS for some reason just will not compmile. However if you open up and compile under mips from the IDE first, and then run the build, it fixes this problem. This is very painful, but it is only for final release, so it is just bareable.
