I've just had a grub around in github, and I'm not very clear what's what, but it looks to me like '/Logitech/slimserver-platforms/win32' (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-platforms/tree/public/7.8/win32) contains the stuff that is used to package for windows. Within that, under '/Logitech/slimserver-platforms/win32/lib' (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-platforms/tree/public/7.8/win32/lib) there is a vcredist.exe, which is the standard Microsoft installer of the compatibility libraries for Visual Studio. The version there claims to be for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, so looks to be for the same version of Visual Studio that I have built the new faad.exe for. So I'm assuming the standard windows builds of LMS will include this an therefore be compatible with faad built with VS 2010. AFAIKT faad.exe etc aren't rebuilt when the windows lms distribution is built - I think they are just picked up from here: '/Logitech/slimserver/Bin/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread' (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/tree/public/7.9/Bin/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread), and the existing faad.exe there was last built by Andy on 15 Apr 2010. As for testing for compatibility on a clean Windows system, it looks like I am using the right VS/VC++ version for the vcredist supplied, so do we really need to do that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
