Hi all,
I have built XBMC, as I am attempting to help with:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4557
In short I want to systematically comment out the free space calculators Under System Info>Storage, to see if they are slowing down my 2nd PC to a crawl.
I am compiling on a VM, and copying the xbmc.exe to the install folder ofthe PC with the symptoms. (As I want to avoid installing VS2003 on this PC). It seems when I compile after commting out code only the XBMC.exe updates, so I am assuming that is all a need to move over to the PC to run my commented build. My build comes in at 12Mb not 8 as that altantis exe, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
If I comment out all of GUIWindowSystemInfo::Render, I get a blank screen, so I know thats working, and its using my new exe.
However, If I comment out the entire method, except the last line: " CGUIWindow::Render();", the entire screen dispays properly. All that does not display are SET_CONTROL_LABEL 50,51 & 52. (Time & build info).
Commenting out just: "SET_CONTROL_LABEL(2, g_infoManager.GetLabel(SYSTEM_FREE_SPACE_C));" makes no difference, nor does commetning out parts of the network and other sections etc..
I am obviously doing something very wrong, though I have no idea what.
I have never used C++ before, and only have 18mths experience with C# and ASP.NET, so excuse me if it's something particularly stupid I am doing.
I will wait for a reply before posting my exe and build logs and the like.
Thanks
