Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm not sure which way to go here. Again, I've searched the archives but didn't find anything about this. Perhaps my question will make more sense if I give it some context. Here we do development for both Win32 and Linux. We are trying to move away from Win32 but in the meantime there is a very strong interest in developing a source code base that will run on both platforms with the help of Cygwin for migrating Linux code to Win32.
I've recently built 2.7.0 on my Linux dev box from the source tarball and, with Dave B's help, built for Cygwin on my XP box from the same tarball. I tried to build for VC6 using the same source that I built for Cygwin, but VC6 won't open the xerces-all.dsw. The problem is with the line breaks, the files in the tarball all have UNIX newlines, not DOS CR/LF's. I'm thinking the .zip format of the source will probably be DOS line breaks, but I'd rather not have 2 different installations of the same source. I'm wondering if I can just go through all the dsp/dsw files and convert them to CR/LF (any gotcha's there?) or should I d/l the zip file and build for VC6 in a completely separate source tree. In the meantime I'm going to go ahead and try converting the ds? files and see what that gets me. TIA for any help, -will
