[Qbittorrent-devel] qBittorrent on windows [YES]

[Chris <dc...@gm...>]

I have just tested qBittorrent on Windows XP (last build from Peerkoel) and
I have to say I'm impressed. It works way better than it used to.

It downloads just fine (got a very good speed here).

Things that don't work:
- Downloads from URLs (this is not surprised because apparently we have to
redefine a callback function in libcurl otherwise it won't work on windows).
I think this can be easilly fixed. Peter, you didn't change the libcurl code
right? which version of the library are you compiling against?
- Search engine. Once again, not suprising as I don't have python installed
on my Windows yet. And even it is were installed, I guess the way we call
the python scripts should be improved in order to support windows. This
would need some testing I guess but totally feasable.
- HTML code in tray icon tooltip is not interpreted, I don't know the reason
because it works everywhere else. I guess there must be something windows
doesn't like in it.
- Installed search engine plugins are not detected, there must be an easy
way to fix this if I could test.

Things that work fine:
- Systray integration
- download
- torrent addition from local files
- program preferences
- torrent properties
- Web browser calls (to see documentation...)
- Almost everything else :)

Briefly, I have to say that I'm very pleased with this new build. I noticed
that Peter used Qt4.3.1, I guess I will try to use it on Windows Vista just
to see how it looks :)
Peter, I have a VMWare with Windows XP here (and also a real Windows Vista
but I don't like to reboot...). If you could help me reproduce your building
steps, I guess I could debug a lot :)

Regards,
Chris.
