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.

Cheers,

                        Yes, Haakon ported it to windows. If anything doesn't 
work, please let
                        me know.
                          
                              

                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.

                        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 
of Farsight2 has come to you.
                                              
                                                  

                                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.
