Build.bat works, but not VS

Asked by attaboy

Newbie question here...

I've been able to build the modules using the build.bat file, but not in VS using the *.sln files (e.g. GStreamer.sln). It looks like the GObject Enum Generation Tools isn't happily configured (see below.) I could start tweaking env variables, but the command-line build works so I'm thinking env variables are not the problem. Thoughts?

Yes, you are building Debug configuration. By default build.bat builds Release.

So you need to manually build all GStreamer dependencies first. GLib is obvious. So open glib.sln, build it (Debug|Win32). Then go back and try building gstreamer.sln.

The alternative is to build Debug with build.bat. This should build GStreamer and its dependencies in the correct order!
see build.bat --help for cmd line options.

Can you help with this problem?
