Request for a new release

[FabienPean]

Hi there, to finalize the merge of microsoft/vcpkg#29248, it would be better to have a new release so that the vcpkg port can follow readily the versioning scheme of the repo. Is it something possible ? Otherwise I would need to backport as patch all the recent work to make it work on windows too. Feasible but cumbersome (and anyway temporary)

[fghoussen]

Is it something possible ?

Yes! @sylvestre: what do you say?

[sylvestre]

sure, do you want to do it @fghoussen ? :)

[fghoussen]

OK, I'll try to have a look by the week-end

[fghoussen]

@sylvestre: release tag pushed on opencollab/master
@FabienPean: when ready, you can detail how to build/run on windows here https://github.com/opencollab/arpack-ng#windows-support

[sylvestre]

@fghoussen seems that we have some changes in this release that we should probably fix

usr/include/arpack-ng/ when it was installed in usr/include/arpack/ before
same for the cmake
it will break a bunch of program for no good reason.

usr/include/arpack-ng/ when it was installed in usr/include/arpack/ before. same for the cmake

Install directory had to be changed to allow for compatibility with mingw64 and installing different flavors in the same install root directory #358 #330.

[sylvestre]

Honestly, i don't think mingw64 should be the cause of significant changes...

I think we need to revert these changes asap and publish a new release.

[sylvestre]

the different flavors should be done behind an option as it isn't a common case compared to the rest

[fghoussen]

Let's see if #398 is enough to fix this

[fghoussen]

@sylvestre: did you release 3.9.1?

[sylvestre]

nope, I thought you were going to :)

Should I ?

[fghoussen]

Should I ?

Yes! :)
