    Two problems here:

    1) I need to make a windows 7 compatible build
    2) something must have been missed out of the zip file.

    I'll try and make a new static build.

      Is the windows 7 build available right now? I am trying to run it on Windows 7 32 bit.

      I also tried running the Dream 2.2 exe file on Windows 10 pro 64 bit, but it askes for a bunch of DLL files first. I downloaded them online one by one, but finally I get "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" and cannot do anything after this. Is there a way to fix this problem? (I sisn't see the Qt platform error posted in the original question though)

      I found out that the -lmincore Windows library link is only for Windows 10, and causes the missing "api-ms-win-core......dll" stuff. I changed it to -lversion.
      https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/366730/error-in-dlls-referenced-by-mincorelib.html
      I managed to build a little further than that, but now I am stuck on the speex stuff. I got speex and speexdsp to compile fine in cygwin, but I included my headers and object files in dream over in QT, and I'm stuck at "cannot find -lspeexdsp". Could you try compiling for windows 7 by making the suggested change and I will be happy to test it.

        sorry I ended up upgrading to Windows 10 so can't test it at the moment. I hope somebody on the forum can help you though.

    Hi, Julian,

    Thanks for the hard work you are putting in this project.

    I have downloaded the Dream2.2 on Windows10 machine and able to get it running. {After copying missing DLL from old dream version and Installing QT5 and pointing the qwindows.dll path in qt.conf}

    I have attached a screenshot of the program which is running, but without audio. [no codec available] error is displayed along with the station name.

    This is also aburtply stoping on other frequency which is brodcasting in aac Mono mode. { In dream 2.1.1.svn808 , this frequency is working}

    Regards,

      Hi Mukesh, it looks like your FM Gold setup is working perfectly. FM Gold is using the new xHE-AAC codec which isn't working in Dream yet. It is the next feature I will implement once everyone is happy with 2.2 decoding HE-AACv2.

      If you are interested, the difficult part to implement is this para in 5.3.1.3 of ES 201 980 v.4.1.2:

      The frame borders of audio frames do not need to be and typically will not be aligned with the audio super frame boundaries. Instead, audio frames are not synchronized to audio super frames; they continue from the current audio super frame into the Payload section of subsequent audio super frame(s). The frame borders within the Payload section of an audio super frame can be derived from the Header and Directory section of the audio super frame (there may be none!).

      This needs a significant revision of the way Dream handles audio frames and audio superframes..

      "This is also aburtply stoping on other frequency which is broadcasting in aac Mono mode. { In dream 2.1.1.svn808 , this frequency is working}"

      If you could post a recording of this it will help us find that problem.

      Thanks for helping us get 2.2 working!

      just noticed your comment about qt.conf - can you explain this one? You have a piece of Qt understanding I'm missing and I can hopefully incorporate it into the build.

        Hi,

        I am not a QT programmer, but come across QT.CONF settings for qwindows.dll path after googling. To start the dream 2,2 anyhow, I just tried this and it worked.

          Thanks. I looked it up and I'll try and include in future.

            Did you do ANY testing on machines other than the one you built the program on? I mean, it's one f##king error after the other man.

    Hi,

    In present Verison 2.2.1 on windows we are not able to modify settings like Sound Card/Sample Rate/Channel etc. in GUI.

    For Windows deployments, if you use the windeployqt.exe program supplied with QtCreator, all dependencies will be created in your deployment directory for you.

    Run: windeployqt.exe --help for usage, but simply, you must set up the appropriate PATH statements to find Qt libraries and then invoke windeployqt.exe from the deployment folder, supplying the main executable's filename as an argument.

    Using the utility will create all folders required as well as all plugins required based on your executable file. Thus far, for me, it has been foolproof.

    For Linux deployments it's not that easy, but I can relate to you the process and a generic shell script to use to start the program properly using the bundled plugins and libraries. Just yell! Happy to help.

    Is there a Qt5 project source repository anywhere for the latest? I can't seem to locate it if so.

    PING. Has anyone made any progress using windeployqt.exe? I am happy to assist if you can point me to a QtCreator project archive.

    Do anyone watch for ticket 226? No answer for two months.

    Hi,
    After having the same problems and solutions than Mukesh (copying missing DLL from old dream version and Installing QT5) I tried pointing the qwindows.dll path in qt.conf but it's not enough precise for me and I fail to run Dream; plse can you precise :
    1 - What should be the content of the qt.conf file (a copy of the text of this file in the answer or a screenshot of its content would be perfect);
    2 - In which folder should be stored this file ?

    Thank's a lot for you support and congratulations to Julian for the very good work done !
