cerbero and Visual Studio/MSVC (under Windows 64 bit, for Windows 64 bit)

[Martin Maurer]

Hi Nirbheek,

many thanks for your answer. How big is such an action?
Just copying a few file or endless merging? Just to get a feeling...
Do you think it still could be inside official release of 1.12
to save you effort to merge it again and again?
Or is it already too late for such an action?
Is "time" the only blocking point, or still other things which must be 
clarified
before it can go into an official release?

I meanwhile went back to branch meson-1.10 and use this for initial 
(learning) steps.
When 1.12 is ready for meson I can move to the new version.

I have an additional question:

Do I need to call

 > cerbero-uninstalled -c config/win64-mixed-msvc.cbc bootstrap

before something else (in every case)

or can I directly call

 > cerbero-uninstalled -c config/win64-mixed-msvc.cbc package gstreamer-1.0

(because it is doing the bootstrap automatically here)?

When building e.g. a 64 bit and a 32 version, do I need some kind of a 
clean?
Or would a clean be even a bad thing, because in second build some steps 
can be skipped,
because it was already built in first build?

The meson 1.10 reports some errors. Are you interested to collect such 
errors?
Here via email? Or in the bug-tracker?

Best regards,

Martin
