After a problem with a recent build, I was directed to investigate the possibility of compiling a win32 build - (here)
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=219...stcount=12
My primary use of this build is for skinning purposes (Not a win32 HTPC).
I have followed up on this - read the wiki article (here) http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_compi...ss_Edition
But I do have some questions regrading this being a complete newbie with anything like this.
1. The article directs the SVN client to "https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC" Is the direction to the Linuxport correct for a windoze build (Confusing)
2. - The directx SDK - Obviously a software install - but is it a program?? files for building? Not sure what it is / what is does.
3. - What is it this compile creates? Is it a single file XBMC_PC type exe, or is it a folder full of files like the XBox install. Not sure what I end up with and how to use it.
4. - Do you need any of the MSDN library stuff as shown on the VC++ Express D/L page? (Or just the VC++Express package?)
5. - The VC++ package seems to use the 3.5.net framework. I currently have V2. Will this 3.5 version mess with my system?
I appreciate the help. Thx muchly.
