Hi,

I built early dev versions of 3.0 with Visual Studio 2008 (paid for version), but it did not build with Visual Studio 2008 Express (free version) for the reasons stated above. I suspect the situation is still the same as the problem is with missing compiler/sdk components that cannot be freely downloaded.

It sounds as if you might be confusing Visual Studio the IDE with Visual Studio the product (which includes a C and C++ compiler and an IDE, and various other stuff, depending on edition) here.

OOo is not and will never be (as far as I know) buildable in the Visual Studio 
IDE. (It is *debuggable* in it very nicely though.)

OOo is buildable with the VS compiler (in fact, as far as I know so far it is the only compiler that it is fully buildable with on Windows), either the "Express Edition" which costs nothing, or one of the editions that cost money. And for current OOo, it's the 2008 version that needs to be used.


Thanks for that information. I guess the headline should be

Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
and not
Visual Studio 2008 Express

and with the note about the IDE, as mentioned before.

I think we want a compiler focused instruction, not a IDE focused one.
