Building for Windows

[Andrew Feren]

I'm currently developing on a Linux platform, but will also need to
support a windows build of my application.  The Windows Support section
of the manual states that the make file is intended to be used with "the
Microsoft compiler (http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/)".  
However, I followed that link to a dead end.

I currently own MSVC 6, but am looking to upgrade.

Anyone have any experience using MSVC 2005 or MSVC 2008 (either
commercial or express edition) to build gstreamer applications?

Thanks,
-Andrew

• Cross building on Linux using Mingw is my favourite:

• If you prefer to use MS VC tool chain, OAbuild (v2) is probably an easy start:

Thanks Tal.

The cross compiling worked to get my app up and running on Windows no
problem.  Any idea how to get the compiled application not to open a
command window?

I think I will ultimately need to do a native build so I'll look at
OAbuild as well.  For now, however, cross compiling has relieved the
immediate pressure.

Thanks again,
-Andrew
