After a while I did manage to compile Farsight2 0.0.3 but it wasn't a as
simple as "click and done". There's no Visual Studio solution or project
file so I went the mingw/msys way. There I had to make a few
modification to it's header files because some definitions introduced in
Windows XP which are used in Farsight2 were missing. Then I had to make
modifications to some Makefile.am files: some pkgconfig includes were
missing (this may only have been a problem because I have most of the
libraries Farsight2 depend on in separate subdirectories and not in a
single one. In the end I stumbled upon the requirements for
gstreamer-0.10.18. The configure script doesn't seem to check that.
Buiding gstreamer and gst-plugins also didn't work as smooth. It seems
that their Windows part has not been updated since version 0.10.17. I
looked at OABuild but that doesn't seem to work with the free versions
of Visual Studio.
I the end I managed to compile all the libs including Farsight2. I will
do some more testing and will then post the modifications I had to make
to get it to compile.
