[Laszlo-dev] Projects in development, DHTML runtime required.

[Jim]

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your reply.

I did think about using that in trunk, as was suggested by senshi in one 
of my forum posts:

http://forum.openlaszlo.org/showthread.php?t=11136

However, it is my understanding that I would then need to follow the 
instruction in the "SubversionBuildInstructions" Wiki page at 
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/SubversionBuildInstructions.

This seems rather involved, so before I commit time to this, I wanted to 
be certain that 4.1 was not imminent.

Since it is clear now that I should just bring the ringding branch down 
to my dev platform, am I correct that I would need to follow the 
instructions to build it per the wiki instructions, at the URL, above? 
Can you clarify what I am to do if it is not per that wiki page?

Please advise.

I don't mind putting in the time to work with the trunk build...provided 
I am going down the right path to build it, to begin with.

Thank you!

Jim
