Re: [Banshee-List] Compiling under windows

[Ján Sokoly <cruster gmail com>]

Dustin, thanks for the patches. I'm still having some issues with
Mono.Data.Sqlite when building in MonoDevelop, but I'll try to find
out where's the problem.

I've been coping with Banshee Windows version a couple of months ago
and have since an installer sitting in my repository. It's built using
WiX and is pretty basic, but it installs, uninstalls, checks for all
the necessary frameworks and copies all the necessary icons and audio
profiles to the correct places, sets all the urls and an icon in
Add/Remove programs and creates a desktop icon. I'm pretty out of time
to finish it, but I can post a patch if anyone is interested.
