[gst-devel] Win 32 build of 0.8.3

[Marc VanDaele]

Hello Steve,

Can you give me some guidance on how to get the core software built using
MSVC?
(I'm running Windows2000, have .Net installed and know close to nothing
about Linux)

I have the following code-tree
	$(PROJECT_DIR)/{libiconv,libintl, libxml2, popt} from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
	$(PROJECT_DIR)/ in which I unzipped the 0.8.3 gstreamer.tar.gz
	$(PROJECT_DIR)/gstreamer-0.8.3/Win32 which I retrieved from 
	
http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gstreamer/gstreamer/win32/
	unzipped glib-2.4.2.tar.gz into $(PROJECT_DIR)

Then I tried to build glib-2.4.2 in cygwin by running 
	./configure
which resulted in 
	configure: error:
	*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or
use the
	*** GNU gettext library.
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

Learning how to build glib is not high on my agenda :-) 
so is it possible for you to send me your 
	$(PROJECT_DIR)\glib

Can you also explain the need for bison, flex and make a bit more?
I don't see a custom build step in eg libgstreamer/properties so I don't
understand yet where they come into play.

Can you also explain which build steps ("-auto makefile") will generate
which files?

Thanks in advance,

Marc
