It's not as mysterious as you seem to think. ActiveState perl comes with an installer for Windows -- it's no more difficult than installing any other Windows program. It is free.
After you install it, you need to run SC by invoking slimserver.pl (or squeezecenter.pl, I'm not sure which it is at present) through the perl interpreter via the command prompt. This is also very simple, and described in http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/StartingWindowsDev You don't need to know programming. kdf and Erland have already figured out what needs to be done. There are easy ways for you to apply the patch Erland wrote. I don't remember how to do that, so I would just use the brute force method and open the relevant files in a text editor (notepad, wordpad, etc.) and make the changes shown in the 'diff' view of Erland's post to the bug report (see http://bugs.slimdevices.com/attachment.cgi?id=3402&action=diff). Then save the files with changes and try it out. It might look like programming, but at this stage it's really just typing. Very careful typing. Actually, you can make most of the edits via copy&paste. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
