Compiling takes a while, but once the build environment has been set up, it isn't difficult to execute the 10-12 commands needed to make the install file.
Nuro for example has made it possible for people to compile an xbmc install file that is version 12 frodo RC1 with spotify integrated?
My problem comes when i'm trying to install all the software needed before i even start compiling. i get asked questions during the installs about what type of install i want to do, and i'm never sure.
for example even trying to instal visual c++ i dont know which one to choose for my windows xp from this page: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads
or is this the right one for me? : http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/...px?id=5555
do you think it's ok to post in this thread when i'm not sure what to do?
also if i get to the stage where i have managed to compile and exe install file, is it against the anyones rules (spotify or xbmc forum) for me to post it here for other windows users to use? or would they then be using my api? if i'm not subscribed every month would that screw it up for others using my api?
