Re: [Opensync-devel] Integration with iTunes

[Henrik /K. <kaa...@us...>]

Hi Todd,

I have tried to build OpenSync and the mozilla-sync plugin on Windows.
You can have a look here: 
http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/building.html#building_windows
However, since Mozilla now recommends using Visual Studio Express from 
Microsoft (free, but not open source), I will try this instead.

There are also some windows building instructions here: 
http://opensync.org/wiki/devel/compilingForWindows
but note that they use cygwin, so my guess is that although OpenSync 
might build, you will have problems with Mozilla.

Be warned, that buidling OpenSync and mozilla-sync on a non-linux 
platform is NOT easy !

Apart from that, it would be great to have a iTunes plugin - for any 
platform...
