win32 port and svn

[Reigo Reinmets]

Hi,

Anyway, if you get the win build so far, that it actually compiles etc, and
is able to fire up, even build a collection, just not play music, then let
me know also :) I would love to see little walk-through on how to get this
damn thing compiled on windows, as i haven't really never bothered to
compile much anything on windows, expect some schoolwork but thats mostly
done automatically by visual studio.

Anyway, if you let me know how to compile it, i'd love to take it for a run
and find some bugs etc also,
Once its up and running, i think i might even look into how to use windows
media player as an audio backend...

Thanks for any info,
Reigo "xatax" Reinmets
amaroK fan! (yes i know, it's written differntly now, i still like the old
style!)

Last I heard, the current trunk actually built with no major issues on
Windows. The only real issue ( Besides getting Amarok2 usable in the
first place ) is, as you mention, the lack of a n audio backend. The
current consensus among the developers is to wait it out until Qt4.4
is releases which will, to the best of our knowledge, include a
working phonon backend for Widows.

However, you are of course welcome to check the code for build issues,
and if you really want to take on the task of building a working
backend, who's to stop you? :-)

That is just my opinion, does anyone feel otherwise?
