VM & win node build env.

VM & win node build env.

Slow progress but work on Muuzik! still going on. Lately I started working on cross platform test build, windows for a start, mac latter.

A win target can be build directly on linux thought wine. Build run fine but because of several dependencies on modules such sqlite and usb support, app will fail to run.

Ok, let's install a node setup on a windows machine. If you think packages dependencies on Linux are horrible, try Windows, of course that thing need visual studio, and did I mention python ? I hate that thing.

Win 7 :  after several try, versions switch, still fail, I give up, let's use a brand new vm on Win 8. With a visual studio and node finally running I can start building some exec. Should be easy, just need to run the same command as I do for linux : Not as smooth either ! Again, after several try to just build the module from an imported repo, I started from a clean tree. Better... and not... Get further but not without error on a straight run. I did so much combination I'm not fully sure what I did but all modules need to be imported, it fail, just ignore it. When you got everything (check the tree !) build every modules that need it one by one from the command line; once you're in the "green" ,then package the app. heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ! It's alive !

Packaging for release won't be an issue, but before we're there, there is lot of work to be done on the app.
