The Express Edition is a joke, but luckily most of the crippling is in the UI
and not in the tools. You can use MSBuild (from the commandline) to build it
with the Express Edition. It takes some fiddling to get the environment
variables right -- would be really cool if you could contribute a short guide
if you do it on a clean system. :)
Cheers,
Ole André

Thanks for the pointer but when I last tried OABuild it did not support free
Express Editions of Visual Studio. I don't have a license for the standard
versions. So it's no use for me.

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.
Cheers,
Birger
The only part that has not yet been ported is libnice
(but the nice
transmitter hasn't been merged yet anyway).

After a few months delay, a new version

I was wondering if the new version
supports/works/can be compiled for
Windows. I tried this previously with the
previous version and found
that the transmitters won't compile. Does this
work now? If not, is
someone already working on a Windows port?
I'm currently working on a Windows port of the
Pidgin Voice and Video
branch. Pidgin's Voice and Video branch is
using Farsight2 and this is
the only part I have not been able to compile.
I may also be able to
spend some time to port Farsight2 if this has
not been done yet.
