[Ambulant-users] Compiling under VC9

[Christian Sell]

Hello,

since yesterday I am trying to build Ambulant using the latest reelase  
of VisualStudio (VC9). Not as easy as one would hope, I must say.

I am using the following components:

- prebuilt ffmpeg and third_party_packages
- xerces 2.8
- libxml2 hourly snapshot
- prebuilt SDL
- Live555
- ambulant source from cvs HEAD

Heres my experiences so far.
1. must change "include <strstrea.h>" in live/groupsock/Groupsock.cpp  
to "include <strstream>
2. liveMedia.lib does not get copied to ambulant/lib/win32 as  
everything else. Copied manually
3. libxml2 directory in download is named libxml2-2.7.2. Had to rename
4. the resulting player cannot load the xerces plugin. Log attached

BTW, my end goal is to integrate ambulant into an Eclipse- (Java-)  
based application, so I'd be thankful for any assistance.

regards,
Christian Sell
