Re: [Banshee-List] Compiling under windows

[Gabriel Burt <gabriel burt gmail com>]

Yeah, basically that stuff.  I think ideally we'd like to bundle
gtk+/gtk# and gstreamer/gst# in our installer so that users can
install just one thing (Banshee) and go.  I'd previously looked at
using Wix for making the installer.  Alexander used it on his other
project: http://gitorious.org/spek and was able to bundle Gtk+ and
GStreamer using it, I believe.
