A minimal project for developing foobar2000 component in VS2022

Usage

1. Get foobar2000 SDK and extract it into lib\foobar2000_sdk directory
   The SDK version used at the time is 2023-04-18.
2. Use a text editor and open lib\foobar2000_sdk\foobar2000\helpers\foobar2000_sdk_helpers.vcxproj
   To accommodate the directory structure, do the followings:
   • Replace this line from:

     <Import Project="..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets" Condition="Exists('..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets')" />

     To:

     <Import Project="..\..\..\..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets" Condition="Exists('..\..\..\..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets')" />

   • Replace this line from:

     <Error Condition="!Exists('..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets'))" />

     To:

     <Error Condition="!Exists('..\..\..\..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '..\..\..\..\packages\wtl.10.0.10320\build\native\wtl.targets'))" />

3. Open foo_test.sln, select OK when asked whether to update compiler/libraries for old projects
4. Build foo_test!
5. foo_test.dll will be generated at Debug, Release or x64 directory depending on your configuration
6. To load the component in foobar2000, copy the foo_test.dll into foobar2000\components directory
