Building the code

You should have Visual Studio 2010 to build this component. Also, you will need to get two dependencies:

• foobar2000 SDK
• TinyXML

Download archives with dependencies and extract their contents to the desired directory, following the structure as shown below:

• foobar2000 (foobar2000 SDK root)
  • app (optional, install foobar2000 here for debugging purposes)
  • foo_musicbrainz
  • foobar2000 (part of the foobar2000 SDK)
  • pfc (part of the foobar2000 SDK)
  • tinyxml

From the SDK root directory, type in your console:

git clone git://github.com/Dremora/foo_musicbrainz.git

Voilà! Now you can open foo_musicbrainz\foo_musicbrainz.sln and build the component!
