Hello, I'm not sure if this is the best forum to direct this question to - please let me know if there is a better place to ask.
I'm fairly inexperienced with Microsoft development tools, but am attempting to build Xerces 2.8.0 with Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 and the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 on a Windows XP box. My attempt at building Xerces 2.8.0 has failed, and I'm not sure if the problem is a mistake I've made, or an issue with the code. I attempted to follow the instructions at http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix-2.html#WinNT. I used Projects\Win32\VC8\xerces-all\xerces-all.sln which MSVC automatically translated to MSVC9. I attempted to build the multi-threaded debug dll, but resource compilation failed with the following error: 1>Compiling resources... 1>Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 6.0.5724.0 1>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. 1>..\..\..\..\..\src\xercesc\util\Platforms\Win32\Version.rc(10) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'winres.h'. 1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\bdh32\Desktop\libsbml-2.3.5\xerces-c-src_2_8_0\Build\Win32\VC8\Debug\obj\BuildLog.htm" 1>XercesLib - 1 error(s), 9 warning(s) I have found winres.h in the \Projects\Win32\BCC.551 directory, but I'm using the Projects\Win32\VC8 directory, so suspect that is not in the path. When I copied it to src\xercesc\util\Platforms\Win32, I got other errors. Are there other changes I need to make to my build environment to be able to make a xerces 2.8.0 .dll? Thanks very much!
