Nice! CMake was a good choice.

> Dear fellow developers,
>
> We have made a pre-release of OpendTect 4.3.1 (v4.3.1#) for the
> developers. It is now available through our new Installation Manager.
> Therefore to install the Pre-release packages, please download and run the
> new Installation Manager available at:
>
> http://opendtect.org/relman/**OpendTect-Installer-Win32.exe<http://opendtect.org/relman/OpendTect-Installer-Win32.exe>
> http://opendtect.org/relman/**OpendTect-Installer-Win64.exe<http://opendtect.org/relman/OpendTect-Installer-Win64.exe>
> http://opendtect.org/relman/**opendtect_installer_lux32.sh<http://opendtect.org/relman/opendtect_installer_lux32.sh>

> -- In the Installation Manager, select Release type 'Development' and
> choose your installation directory. OpendTect is now going to have a
> different directory structure. The idea is to have an OpendTect directory
> at a location specified by the user and then have all OD installations e.g.
> 4.3.1, 4.4.0 etc as sub-directories of OpendTect. This allows the installer
> to access all OpendTect installations under one umbrella.
>
> -- After you press 'Proceed', you get the OpendTect Package Manager
> window. Here you can select packages to install. The packages which are
> already installed will show 'checked' status. Ideally one should be able to
> uncheck and uninstall an already installed package but this feature has not
> been implemented yet. Therefore you can either add packages to your
> installation or upgrade existing packages.
>
> -- The 'File list' button when pressed gives you the list of files
> installed for a particular package.
>
> -- Once you press 'Proceed' in the package selection window, packages (to
> be installed and to be upgraded) are downloaded and then installed. You get
> a confirmation message at the end of a successful installation.
>
> -- A few  known issues with the Installation Manager:
>    * On Windows, after installation is finished you may get a warning
> message saying the installation may have failed. More often than not, this
> warning is false and we are investigating why it is coming.
>    * The uninstall feature in Windows may not work and also you do not see
> OpendTect in the Control Panel list of installed programmes. So, uninstall
> just remove the folder by hand.
>    * The icons in the Package Selection window may not show for users
> other than the one who installs the application.
>
> -- When we have an actual public release of OpendTect in a couple of
> weeks, please get rid of your pre-release installation, download a new
> Installation Manager and start from scratch.
>
> Development of plugins in OpendTect has become much easier now as we have
> adopted CMake (http://cmake.org). Especially on Windows it saves you from
> a lot of hassle. Please refer to the Programmer's manual which is available
> in OpendTect (Help -> Programmer).
>
> Happy coding!

> Cheers,
> Raman
