Yup, looks indeed as if you have MSVC9. No matter, after several tries I got FG to build with it. I made a new directory VC9 in the same place as VC8, copied the VC 8 solution (.sln) file to the location, converted it to VC9 (click on it from VC9 , and it converts), and worked it out from there. You can have my project files if that would help - but you will need to adjust all the paths, etc. Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
