Re: [Banshee-List] Successful Windows Build

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that thanks to the latest changes by
Gabriel, I was able to to get an (almost) completely automated build
of Banshee and an installer on Windows. I was also able to use said
installer to install Banshee, both on my development machine and a
virgin system. The thus installed Banshee runs fine and plays music. I
haven't thoroughly tested it, but I have found a few issues that I
will be reporting as bugs shortly. What I do know is that I can now
have Banshee at work, where management has strictly said "no Linux
boxes!"

If anyone wants to try my build, you can get the installer at
http://pyrocufflink.net/~dustin/Banshee-1.9.3.msi. Please note that
this is *not* an official build, and, as it clearly states, it is in
PRE-ALPHA state, meaning you are likely to experience problems. Also,
note that this build contains my patches
from `Bug #614058`_, which have not been officially endorsed yet or
applied to the main tree.

Hello Dustin,

I just started the download of your installer right now. I'm very intersted in the Windows builds of Banshee because I also have to use Windows on at least one real machine to test our company's software that is built for Windows exclusively till now. WINE isn't the ideal testing environment …

So if possible, I'll let the Banshee team and community know about my experience with your young and fresh build.

Thank you for your efforts!
