[Banshee-List] building on Windows



Hi,
I was on Bertrand's blog a while back, while googling for a Windows build of Banshee. He commented that there is a need for an installer.
I'm interested in helping with that.

However, there is a snag.  The Windows build directions don't work with things as they are out of the box.  Maybe the directions are outdated?  I'm using VS 2008 Pro, and at some point, I could make VS 2010 projects if there is a desire for that.

Is anyone on this list building in Windows currently?  What changes did you have to make?

I worked my way through the many compilation errors that came up.  I took some notes on the changes I had to make.  I will paste them at the bottom of this message.
I still have a handful of assemblies that won't build, but I haven't gotten to them all yet.

Once I get a working build, I can go about gathering all the requirements for the app, and create an installer. 

Here are my notes -

  • added musicbrainz ref to banshee.services
  • added system.core, taglibsharp.dll, hyena.data.sqlite and mono.media refs to banshee.amazonmp3
  • added banshee.widgets ref to banshee.webbrowser (still getting an error here)
  • fixed ref to taglib-sharp.dll in banshee.dap.appledevice
    • added ref to Hyena.Data.Sqlite
  • also had to git clone git://gtkpod.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/gtkpod/libgpod and then build the libgpod-sharp sln under libgpod\bindings\mono
    •     libgpod-sharp needed to add /unsafe to project and add ref to system.core in order to build the dll
    •     also changed build output to ..\..\..\..\bin instead of .\ 
  • added ref to pango-sharp (located in .net tab ) in banshee.webbrowser
I'm getting a number of these errors:
error CS0305: Using the generic type 'System.Action<T>' requires '1' type arguments


I'd appreciate any help with this.
