Description Dave Van den Eynde 2011-09-23 16:17:15 UTC 
There's a page to help Windows developers to get started with hacking on Banshee. This page is located here:

http://banshee.fm/download/development/#windows

What's not clear is that when getting a fresh copy of the source and performing all the actions described, the solution configuration is set to "Debug" that fails to build. To fix this, one only needs to set the configuration to "Windows" to have builds work on Windows. 

The instructions page does not mention this.

Good catch, thanks!
Once you've selected it, MonoDevelop remembers it for next time, that's probably why we forgot about it.

I've added "Make sure you select the "Windows" configuration" to the relevant paragraph.
