This is a test version of the win32 port of EasyTAG 1.99.9 (http://easytag.sourceforge.net/)
7
You'll need to install GTK+ runtime to run EasyTAG.
8
Get it at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gaim/gtk-runtime-2.6.9-rev-a.exe?download
9
If you have gaim 1.5.0 installed you already have this.
11
You can run from any directory. It should autodetect GTK libs location and store preferences in the localized version of
12
the "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\.easytag" folder
14
It should autodetect your audio player. foobar2k and winamp in order, if you have them installed. If not you can set your audio player in the settings dialog
16
It should use the langage of your Windows installation. It can be overriden by setting the EASYTAGLANG environment variable
17
to the two letter country code found in the "locale" subdirectory. Example for french:

DIFFERENCE WITH UNIX VERSION
23
============================
25
- default window size = 1024x768
26
- default scanner window position just below tag editor
27
- do not scan default directory at startup (less confusing on first launch)
28
- "Open file with..." removed...makes not much sens on win32 where executable are not in the path like on unix
29
- "Browse directory with..." removed (should be replaced with launch explorer)
30
- "Show hidden directory..." and corresponding setting check box removed (makes no sense on win32)
31
- menu and toolbar handles removed (looks strange on win32)
32
- don't check if audio executable exist because it can contains spaces and the current algorithm do not work in that case
38
- closing the scanner window using the window's close button crashes the app sometimes (crashes in GTK)
39
- info displayed for ape files is wrong
45
- crash handler using unix signals to replace with something else
46
- use NSIS to generate an installer
47
- minimize main window should also close/minimize the scanner window.
48
- add detection of windows media player location if can't find other players
49
- "Browse directory with.." should probably be replaced by launching explorer.exe
50
- go to home directory should go to c:\documents and settings\users\my documents\my music (detect the localized directory)
56
- install MinGW with gcc 3.4.4 and g++ (important as gcc 3.4.2 in current has a serious bug with paths)
58
- install gtk+ develpoment and runtime package and their dependancies in the MinGW directory (see http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html)
59
- install pkg-config (see http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html)
61
- add in /etc/profile:
63
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mingw/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
65
- relaunch MSYS and check that pkg-config works:
70
should list gtk and its dependencies
76
- edit configure.in : comment check for truncate() (line 252 to 255)
77
- aclocal && automake && autoconf
78
- CXXFLAGS="-DID3LIB_LINKOPTION=1" ./configure && make install
84
- install and compile SDL
85
- ./bootstrap && ./configure
95
- ./configure && make install
102
- compile will fail when linking libvorbisfile with a libogg missing dependency (libtool bug)
105
in file "lib/Makefile" line 252, replace:
106
libvorbisfile_la_LIBADD = libvorbis.la
108
libvorbisfile_la_LIBADD = libvorbis.la -L/local/lib -logg
116
./configure && make install
122
make -f Makefile.mingw install
124
all files are in win32-install-dir
