[Denemo-devel] Success building Denemo from git master for windows

[Richard Shann]

I have succeeded in building Denemo for windows from the git master
branch using GUB. It is working with all the latest tweaks in git on the
Vista box that I have access to, including exiting properly (no portmidi
hanging - I haven't actually tested the MIDI-in however, yet).
I have a clear route now to a release, however I realize that by fixing
the typos that Federico pointed out I have probably invalidated some
translations.
So I will prepare a final translation request by which time any problems
with the windows installation may be sorted out (I would like to
investigate the fonts thing).
With a fair wind, I hope we can release in a week's time.

This build from git master took me by surprise - I tried to build from a
file:// type spec with no success, then I deleted the failed build with

rm -rf target/*/*/denemo*

and with this inserted into specs/denemo.py

the whole thing built - no patches used at all as far as I can see.

I'll test MIDI-in tomorrow. Is there anything else that might be wrong?
