Hello CppUnit Developers,

My Source Forge account is redhotdancer34 (alias CPlusPlus OOA and D).  I am about ready to post via the CppUnit Tickets | Patches area, multiple files for compiling CppUnit with the more recent C++Builder compilers (e.g. Win32, Win64, and Mac OS X).  I would like to know the best source file to use for a patch that is a general information readme addressing C++Builder compiling and using CppUnit within C++Builder.  I have named the new file:

readme_CPlusPlusBuilder_en.txt

Within this file is a long list of guidance, besides the summary area at the top with File, Purpose, Author, and References sections.  The length of this new file is similar to the CodingGuideLines.txt, but much different content.  Is there a better text file within the CppUnit source to generate the patch?

The rest of the new and updated files have existing reference source to generate patches from the /contrib/bc5/bcc-makefile.zip.  I have planned to post complete patches for each compiler type at my disposal: Win32 (bcc32.exe), Win64 (bcc64.exe) and Mac OS X (bccosx.exe).  The patch file names are:

mksrclist.cpp
makefile
cppunit.mak
readme_compilerExeName_en.txt

where the compilerExeName is one of "bcc32", "bcc64", "bccosx," three separate files.  In the case of the 64-bit version of the mksrclist.cpp, it is possible to rename this file version to mkscrlist64.cpp, right?  The reason I ask is because the implementation is a bit different to support the ".o" object file extension used by the Win64 compiler (e.g. bcc64 is based on CLang 3.1).  Is it preferred to have three indpendent posts, one for each compiler? 

Ultimately, there can easily be a whole new zip file that is called something like:

ecppb-makefile.zip

Then within that zip are the dedicated sub-directories for the bcc32, bcc64, and bccosx compilers.  What is the preferred method to post a new zip file?

Thank you all for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Robert
