Re: building on Windows

I downloaded and tested, first I had problems compiling. You have to install the Mono libraries for .NET as well, which you can find at the MonoDevelop site at the Windows section.

Nereid did comile and run, but then I got this exception:

An unhandled exception was thrown: Kan DLL libbanshee.dll niet laden: Kan opgegeven procedure niet vinden. (Uitzondering van HRESULT: 0x8007007F)

It basically means it can't find libbanshee.dll. That's right, because VS couldn't load it because it didn't recognise .cproj. I opened the .sln in the libbanshee folder, but I couldn't build it because I don't have gstreamer (could not include gst/gst.h). It also fails to include config.h but I could swith it off with the preprocessor. Then it also misses glib and more gst.
