After quite some request to port Vapix support for CamALay to Windows ... I finally had a few hours and a necessary bit of motivation to do it.

As it turned out the threading API was pretty easy to make portable mostly with #define macros and the Winsock API seems to be very similar to Berkley sockets (not 100% but more that I have expected).

Some new dependencies were added to the Windows version because of this. One is the Winsock2 library (I am not entirely sure how is it linked) and the JPEG library provided by GnuWin32 project (the one that also provides the regex library). The whole thing is still in testing phase. The viewer works on my virtual machine, the only noticeable problem being the strange freezing before quitting the application. If you find any problems or have any questions please do not send them to me personally but rather to the mailing list
