[ros-dev] Cmake result differences

[Bernd Blaauw]

I was wondering why the Cmake results are different between the 
Windows/ReactOS and Unix/Linux platforms. The compressed trunk CD images 
available for download differ by about 6MB.

Expecting identical output (checksums, file sizes) on different 
platforms even with the same compiler isn't realistic ofcourse but above 
mentioned 6MB is a bit much.

Creating dbgwin-builds makes sense, but if the Unix builder builds 
faster and smaller builds, and makes them earlier available for 
download, what's the point in making the Windows build available 
publicly? Would it make more sense to offer MSVC builds if 
license-technical allowed? Or automated builds of CLT-type (combined 
installCD + liveCD) ?
