Hello to everyone, Recently I worked on a project that aims to build a CD-DA player in Java. Actually it's impossible using purely Java to access the CD-ROM layer, so I decided to use a wrapper to libcdio in order to make it. It works very well on Linux and MacOSX. But I tried to use it under Windows, and that's quite harder... I began to use Cygwin (which I know well) to compile libcdio : it worked, but I obtained a static library. When converting it into a static dll library and then use it in Java, something wrong happen. So I gave up that solution, as the dll must be packaged with cygwin ones. I tried to use MinGW to compile libcdio, but I must admit that even if MinGW looks promising, it's totally crap and user unfriendly.
My question is: is there any libcdio windows binary packages ? All I need is a shared dll library in order to use it under Windows with Java. I tried to look projects which uses libcdio, such as VLC or mplayer, but I couldn't find any libcdio windows library. Any idea ? Or a good tutorial about using MinGW to compile libcdio ? Or perhaps there are other way to compile libcdio under Windows ? Thanks for your help, M.
