New help file: Building Win32 projects

2000-02-09 Thread Chad Loder
I have written some short documentation for Win32 developers who want to build the source distribution. If anyone has any additions, corrections or whatnot, please contribute them after this has been added to CVS. I have not added this to CVS because I don't know where it should go (new file or a

Compile error in latest Win32 sources

2000-02-09 Thread Chad Loder
Hi...I just got the latest sources from CVS and I am seeing a compile error in Win32. The problem is that some DirectSound identifiers used in the dsound module are not defined in the version of that ships with MSVC 5.0 (they *are* defined in 6.0). The docs still say that MSVC 5.0 or higher is r

Win32 minimize wierdness

2000-02-09 Thread Chad Loder
FreeAmp has some strange behavior on Win32 when it comes to minimizing. I am not much of a GUI programmer, but here are some questions: The default Win32 theme has its own button for minimizing. It works OK, but I assumed it worked by posting a WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MINIMIZE message to its own queue a

I am using CVS, last update about 2:00pm EST today. Seeing as the same hang happens in other situations (e.g., forwarding to next track), it might not be related to the sliding code per se. So you're the slider code guy, eh? :) Why does the slider keep flashing visible/invisible in a random way?
