<div> </div>
<div>Because I don't use git. We use TFS at work, and the easiest way to publish it was to zip it all up and put it on a cloud drive.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Re: gcc-xml and Mummy, I agree that abandoning gccxml is the real solution. What is the point in patching it for modern VS support if it's a dead project. Fixing mummy to support the standard VTK wrapping libraries makes the most since.</div>

<br />
Yes, I think it absolutely could. It would be based on the assumption,<br />
however, that the interface generated by analyzing the source under<br />
the VS2008 environment would in the end be compatible with what you<br />
compile and link for the final library. And it would mean a two-stage<br />
build, with VS2008 still required for the first stage.<br />
<br />
I would be interested to see if anybody can replace gcc-xml with the<br />
new&improved CastXML, and still build ActiViz using a more modern VS<br />
all in one go. I haven't had time to investigate bringing things up to<br />
date for using CastXML, but if anybody else does, please do let us all<br />
know here on the VTK lists.<br />
<br />
Question for you:<br />
Why not just publish a git branch with your changes on GitHub or some<br />
other publicly hosted site? Perhaps your branch would get picked up by<br />
the folks maintaining the ActiViz repo now.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
David C.<br />
