I have been trying to do a CVS build of Ambulant for Windows. I can build it without SMIL3.0 support but it fails in the linking part when using the WITH_SMIL30 flag.
I wanted to perform a demo tomorrow using smilText so I am wondering if anybody who has a Windows version of Ambulant with SMIL3.0 support would be kind enough to send it to me. I can provide some online storage space if needed.
I've sent Martin a URL for an installer in a private message because I don't want the installer to get indexed by google or anything (it's a moving target), but if anyone else wants one let me know.
But what I did want to discuss in the open is why SMIL 3 support doesn't build. As far as I know everything should be documented already (i.e. if there's anything in this mail that isn't in the readme please tell me). For Windows you should build in either projectsvc7-smil3 or projectsvc8-smil3, depending on whether you use Visual Studio 2003 (aka Visual C++ 7.1) or Visual Studio 2005 (VC++ 8.0). There you should first build third_party_packages.sln (after downloading the packages as per third_party_packagesreadme.txt). Then you should run the copy_tpp_win32.bat script. Then you should build Ambulant_win32.sln. For full SMIL 3 support you want to build ReleaseShlib (or DebugShlib).
If that is indeed what you did when you got the error then there may be something wrong with the Visual Studio search path order, that's something we also stumbled upon at some point. In that case: please send me the build log and also tell me the dirs in your search paths for includes and libraries (somewhere in Tools->Options).
