hydrogen0.9.6_snapshot-1 for windows

we plan this in next time. i talk with sebastian about this. as i understand him correct, he will put the current windows version build information/steps into this wiki site.
http://trac.assembla.com/hydrogen/wiki/coding%3Apackagingwin

i can give you some details here.

i use:
this instructions:
http://www.hydrogen-music.org/forum/?action=show_thread&thread=1244&fid=....

my develop environment under win :
qmake
make
Qt = 4.5.1 + mingw + qcreator bundle
higher qt versions produce errors.
portaudio = 1.0.18 ( at least less latency than the 19 version, don't know why)
undo branch rev 1641
libjack and header from the jack-windows-installer 1.9.5.
for portmidi you have to google ( if i implement this i losse a bit the portmidi version overview. i work a whole night with 3-7 bears and try many different portmidi files and dll's which i fond into the www. at least it was luck as it suddenly was working. but i can not reproduce this in moment )

the main work are the massive changes into the source code.
i put my modified sources into the windows installer. they will installed into your h2 installing directory/sources.
hope this will help.

edit:
-------------important--------------------
i also find a new bug into the snapshot-1.
beside the export extension segfault i found out that ogg export will export wav instead.

what ever i have fix already this problems into a new installer called hydrogen0.9.6_snapshot-2 :).

i am a bit wondering/sad why nobody from the people who use the new windows version make bug reports. we have over 1400 downloads from the newer windows installers. this is more as the linux and osx >0.9.4binary downloads together.

i personally use linux, so i can not really find windows bugs. i do this work a little bit under windows. but it's not my favourite thing to spend my spare time.

thx,
the problem is also there into linux and osx version. i plan to create a ticket.

a workaround.
one times switch between stacked and single pattern mode solve the triangle problem. after toggle this, all triangles are shown in stacked pattern-mode.
also in song-mode as expected.

ok,
since 0.9.4 final we have two different pattern modes.
1. stacked mode, is like this one into the old windows hydrogen version.
2. single mode. here you can only activate one pattern by clicking on it.

the bug is that hydrogen start without a clear status. but after toggle this both modes one time everything works fine.

the delay between position pointer and real position is caused on audio latency. with portmidi driver you can not reduce the latency. the buffer size settings have no effect.
IMPORTANT
if you will work with less/low latency's, you have to use jack on windows. and the important thing here is that you start jackd with a asio driver. e.g. the free asio4all driver.

than you can use hydrogen with jack. but than all driver settings buffer and so on have to adjust from the jack gui (qjackctl).

there is a jack-readme into the hydrogen installation directory. there you can get more information about. also how to start the jackrouter. jackrouter make it possible to connect other asio applications to jack.
than its possible to connect hydrogen to e.g. energy-xt, reason or to all applications which use asio drivers.

thx,
it's looks like a generally bug. after testing i found out hat it happens also on linux.
i will create a ticket.

the bug seems to be a bit complexer because the current disk writer driver architecture exclude the tempo change feature. so please don't worry if it take some time to fix this problem.

a workaround is, to connect hydrgens outputs via jack to the inputs of a recording software. e.g. http://www.energy-xt.com/
