[gst-devel] Ixion player on Windows

Thu Jan 5 04:14:14 CET 2006

I'll have a cvs account soon, so i'll update the win32 folders with my 
vs6 and yours vs7 and add the directx sinks to gst-plugins-bad/sys/ asap.
When i started building gstreamer on windows, i was using vs7.1 and i 
succeeded to setup it to link on msvcrt.dll.
if you want i can write a howto to explain how to do it so you will be 
able to use the same dependencies archive while working with vs7.1.
