Can you please send in a patch with these changes? Some of them, like
(1) and (3) sound like they should be committed upstream. Problem number
(2) is because our GLib dependency needs updating to 2.36. I will fix
that in master.

In order to help you debug this we will need a full backtrace of all
threads at the point where it gets stuck, plus a libnice log. I don’t
know how to get a backtrace out of Visual Studio, but it should be
possible. If you set NICE_DEBUG=all G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all in your
environment variables you will get debug logs from libnice.

Again, we can’t help much without a backtrace (of all threads). Would it
be possible to run your program without the debugger, but then get
Visual Studio to automatically attach one when the crash happens?

I have recently had libnice working on Windows (albeit compiled with
MinGW rather than Visual Studio), so it can work. :-)
