I did that myself, installing cygwin for the first time to be able to compile boblightd.
What I cannot find out is how to get the correct packages:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libxext-dev portaudio19-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavdevice-dev- ski107 - 2012-01-29 02:04
FYI for the Windows Users, I'm using an Adalight with Lightpack (as it now supports Adalight) and it works quite brilliantly. You can't control any of it in xbmc, but it works great for movies/visualizations/menu/etc. Just requires a bit of setup.

The profile part is a pain in the butt, but there's a generator here http://sanya.tarhelyszolgaltato.eu/

I'm aware of Lightpack and outside of XBMC it works like a charm (check post nr. 109) but since this XBMC related, I think a lot of Windows users want to get boblightd working on their systems.
I've never expected this to be a pain in the arse but surrender is not an option.

Is there a light I can buy, which will work with Boblight, that I can plug into my TV or my XBMC machine's usb port. I don't really want to make one and everything I've found online points in that direction.

Fair enough
It works perfectly for me with xbmc so call me a surrenderer

How does it work with XBMC? If I'm running lightpack my LEDs went off as soon as I run XBMC. Do you run XBMC in fullscreen?

Nevermind.
Adalight + Lightpack + Lightpack XBMC Addon = perfect
Using this addon to change 16:9 to 21:9 within xbmc
http://code.google.com/p/lightpack/source/browse/XBMC/script.lightpack/script.lightpack-1.0.5.zip
everything works like a charm.
Strange thing. This works only in XBMC, if I connect the Arduino to my Core i5 system with a GTX580 but not on my Acer Revo R3610 with nVidia ION graphics and shared memory.
Any idea?
Cheers

Sounds like we don't talk about boblight addon here anymore? Please try to keep on topic and discuss other things in the appropriate threads (or if there aren't already threads - make a new one).

Hi,
i noticed, that my leds often light up in purple for scenes that are either very dark or bright..especially when watching SD content..in HD the leds seem to show the corresponding colors..did anyone else notice this? could this be a noise-issue? Is there anything, that could be done about it?
Also, are there values you can suggest for parameters like threshold,value,saturation?
Thx

I compiled current SVN source with cygwin. As I said, I tested with your recent plugin and eden-beta.
