Building issue on Windows platform

[WilliamHF]

The lib apparently fails to npm install on a Windows platform with bitutilities / binding definitions ?

\node_modules\libalac\ALAC\codec\ALACBitUtilities.h(68): error C2371: 'ELEMENT_TYPE'
..\binding.cc(124): error C2131 [\node_modules\libalac\build\binding.vcxproj]

[m-a-v]

The problem is that ELEMENT_TYPE is already defined in winioctl.h.

[m-a-v]

There is another problem. Array of variable length are not supported. binding.cc:124 could be replaced with:

current: char cookie[cookieSize];
new: char* cookie = (char*)alloca(sizeof(char) * (cookieSize));

[EraYaN]

I just get syntax errors (a lot of them)

I know I CAN build packages, because mdns builds fine. (I tried installing nodetunes)

Node version is 0.12.9
Windows version is 8.1 x64 (latest/current)
VS 2013 version is: 12.0.40629.00 Update 5 (it's ultimate so it should have all required features)

[m-a-v]

I was able to compile it using VS 2015 Community Edition ... but Airsonos wasn't accepted by iTunes as AirPlay device. I only succeeded to compile it on Ubuntu with microadam's nodetunes patch and was able to use it with iTunes.

https://github.com/m-a-v/airsonos

which depends on:
https://github.com/m-a-v/node-libalac
https://github.com/m-a-v/nodetunes (version of microadam)

I don't remember the Node version i used.
Windows version is 10 x64 (latest/current)
VS 2015 Community Edition

[EraYaN]

microadams version seems to be merged upstream.

Added pull-request with a fix for the errors above #6

[m-a-v]

I didn't remember anymore that microadams was merged upstream but I noticed that I didn't use the microadam version mentioned above.

I tried it to recompile with VS 2015 and Node 0.12.9 (x64) with success. But only if I append "--no-bin-links".

[m-a-v]

I get the following error when building without --no-bin-links. Anyone can help me?
