[opensource-dev] quicktime plugin failing, and lots of build errors (windows)

[Nicky Perian]

When starting out most users will set aside quicktime until the viewer builds error free. As you have found out it is not needed to run the viewer.Use configure switch  -DQUICKTIME:BOOL=OFF not build it.

If you desire is to build with quicktime the quicktime SDK from the apple developer site is an additional build dependency.

I verified it was copied to the directories I was instructed to put it in, but it looks for the FmodexL dll (*debug* version, right?) in the *Release* directory. I duplicated both dlls in both the release and the debug folders and it still didn't find it. I duplicated them in the folder with the executable and, of course, that worked.

It scanned three quarters of a million files before I gave up and quit the IDE, but next time I loaded the project it didn't scan anything and I was able to build. That build had two successes and one failure. No viewer executable was created. But I built the viewer by itself and I got an executable. It runs, but has the quicktime problem I mentioned above.
