Re: [ros-dev] Targeting multiple Windows versions

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi Marc,
the patch / bug IS valid, Magnus made a mistake and closed it.

I wanted to do the same, but it's rather timeconsuming, so I  
appreciate you took the first steps. Still, some modules may require  
setting some specific version - that's allright, we can leave some  
exceptions for now, but otherwise, version number should be set  
globally, not in every .rbuild file (which is so wrong).


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
