[jazzplusplus-devel] Long hello

[Björn P. <bjo...@gm...>]

Hi eberybody,
I just recently stumpled upon this project looking for a simple 
midi-recorder for windows.
Looks like something I'd like to get involved in.

I am working with a mingw (tdm-4.3) and codeblocks workbench on XP here 
(not too keen on setting up vc for this) so i tried to go along 
importing the vc projects in codeblocks, adjusting the 
compiler-settings, patching the source. I found that this is a pure ansi 
project, while my wx2.8 being built unicode. So having read about the 
new wxString implementation in wx2.9 - that has unicode/ansi merged with 
fancy constructors from char*, std::string etc - I continued with that, 
patching the source (mostly char* <> wxString conversions). But after 
some time I had to stop short on this (marked deprecated) proplist 
thing, that just doesn't want to compile for 2.9 anymore.

Long story, just a few questions:
- Are there efforts for a mingw port/setup? I do not mean to switch and 
not for releases (for executable size is pretty bad compared to vc), 
just as an alternative for the devs.
- Could anybody upload a binary (windows)? I'd like to get an idea of 
what the prop-thing practically does (plan to replace it with something 
else).
- Why no intermediate nightly builds for win32?
- What about migrating the wx-version to 2.9 => wx30? Maybe (probably) 
in a separate branch.


Big hello for a start. Looking forward to your opinions on these ideas.

But for now:
Happy Xmas everybody !
