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

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).

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.
