msdev chokes on .dsp and .dsw in unix text file format

[Kris Carlgren]

Hi.  I know I’m new, and I wanted to check out the APR-1.0.0 release.  With the release, APR is receiving a lot of attention at the moment, so I thought I’d post my only problem and solution.   Everything compiled fine under cygwin and redhat linux, but choked in msdev.  The .dsp and .dsw files are in Unix text file format, and msdev doesn’t give a clear error message.  It simply says “project not found”.    Of course, the solution was to run lineends.pl on the tree and everything worked fine.     I propose adding lineends.pl to the “Build on Win32” page, or try to keep the .dsp and .dsw files in DOS format.     I’m sorry if this issue has come up previously.   Thanks, and great job on the release!  -- kris
