This is an experimental fork of WinSparkle, a Windows version of the Sparkle software update framework that ispopular on Mac OS X. Unless you need ANSI / C-string compatibility, you probably want to use the official WinSparkle distribution instead: http://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle

About ------- WinSparkle is a plug-and-forget software update library for Windows applications. It is heavily inspired by the Sparkle framework for OS X written by Andy Matuschak and others, to the point of sharing the same updates format (appcasts) and having very similar user interface. See http://winsparkle.org for more information about WinSparkle and documentation on how to use it. Using prebuilt binaries ------------------------- The easiest way to use WinSparkle is to download the prebuilt WinSparkle.dll binary. It doesn't have any extra dependencies (not even msvcr*.dll) and is compatible with all Windows compilers. Building from sources ----------------------- If you prefer to build WinSparkle yourself, you can do so. All 3rd party dependencies are included in the sources archive available for download, you don't need to install anything else. At the moment, only Visual C++ 2008 project files are provided, so you'll need that (Express edition suffices). In principle, there's nothing in the code preventing it from being compiled by other compilers. Compilation is done in two easy steps: 1. Open the 3rdparty/WinSparkleDeps.sln solution and build it. 2. Open the WinSparkle.sln solution and build it. Where can I get some examples? -------------------------------- Download the sources archive and have a look at the examples/ folder. Using latest development versions ----------------------------------- If you want to stay at the bleeding edge and use the latest, not yet released, version of WinSparkle, you can get its sources from public repository. WinSparkle uses git and and the sources are hosted on GitHub. See http://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle for information on how to check the sources out. Then compile WinSparkle as described above; no extra steps are required. Where to get help ------------------- See http://winsparkle.org
