building on Windows

[gabaug]

Hey everybody,

If you want to help us get a release for Windows ready, you can now
build Banshee on Windows without too much pain.

I wrote up the steps you need to take here:

http://banshee-project.org/download/development#windows

Let me know what success (or not) you have.  You can find the
Windows-specific bugs we already know about here:

Thanks!

Gabriel

Great article Gabriel, thanks.
When I run git pull in the /banshee directory though I get

Updating 80c83bc..9270fc6
error: Entry 'po/he.po' not uptodate. Cannot merge.

I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with git, so I've no idea how to get around this.
git pull works fine in the /banshee/bin directory though.

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.

This means that the named file has been changed in your local copy,
but has not been committed locally.  In other words, your working copy
is dirty.

"git reset --hard" will revert all changes to your working copy.  Then
you should be able to "git pull" successfully.
