Windows Installer

Added by John Lindgren almost 8 years ago

If any brave souls are willing to test a (beta) Windows installer, here is one:
https://app.box.com/s/012t6mzhlgkjrx8fwvktxdv65qz0n312

It's just the existing 3.7.2 build (.zip file) with an NSIS wrapper:
https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious/blob/master/contrib/win32/installer/audacious.nsi

Let me know how it works. If it seems to be reliable, then we'll ship an installer like this with 3.8.

Woohoo! - It seemed to work fine and easy for me! :D This despite the fact that I have my forked version also installed on the same box. It did not stomp anything, but created it's own shortcuts and I was able to fire it right up and play my current playlist.

One little issue I did notice (but this isn't an installer issue, but rather an issue with your "audacious/configure" script that I've encountered whilst building myself: The new "waveout" output plugin is NOT included (b/c it's not compiled by default and there's no "--enable-waveout" config option available (yet?), so I ended up having to go into \audacious-plugins\src\waveout\ and do: make; make install separately (when building from scratch), post-build to include this! Is this an ommission or by design (as in not ready for prime time)?

Thanks and regards,

Jim

The installer has 3.7.2, so no waveout yet. In Git master, waveout should be compiled by default on Windows (it works here). Have you run ./autogen.sh lately to regenerate the configure script?

No I haven't, I wasn't aware of that. I'll give it a try tho. 'Twas only in the instructions for building "FluidSynth". Whilst on the subject though, which do you reccommend using on Windows anyway? Are there advantages / disadvantages to each?

Thanks!

Jim

The release notes are meant for released version; ./autogen.sh is only necessary when building from Git. I would highly recommend waveout over the SDL output plugin; it has several advantages such as a real volume control, lower latency, and support for higher bit depths.
