[gst-devel] Ixion player on Windows

[Sergey Scobich]

This is how I've done.

First of all I built all dependencies with msvcr71.dll, then I created a
project for vs7 and build successfully gstreamer. 

I also built most of the gst-plugins-base only audioresample and
ffmpegcolorspace remained.

Now I successfully built liboil with msvcrt71.dll (using mingw + some
patches in liboil) 

And will try to compile the remaining gst-plugins-base.

I filed two bugs with vs7 project files #325248, #325246.
They are not processed yet.

This was two days ago and they are a bit outdated.

Unfortunately I didn't have VS6, but what to develop, debug, profile, fix
code in gstreamer - so that's why I decided to build all in VS.2003
I know that building with VS.2003 is not compatible with GPL. I just doing
it for fun. 

Anyway during this work I propose many small corrections for gstreamer code
(thank you guys from #gstreamer) and successfully played an ogg file, using
Sébastien's directsoundsink.

But a lot of work remains - playbin is not finished and could be improved in
for better support for Windows.

I wonder why directx sinks are not in gstreamer CVS. I know that they are
not finished but the development should be done in CVS.

Sebastien did you file a bug with suggestion to include directx sinks?

I remind you that msvcrt71.dll can not be considered as a system DLL
because it's not shipped together with your Windows operating system.

Linking to this library is not compatible with the GPL license.

Just so you know why we are using VS6.0 and msvcrt.dll

Best regards,
