Could you share some of that Simon? Maybe it's even useful to > put into a script in the source root for developers? that wouldnt help much here since he uses a MinGW cross compiler; that means that the compiler runs natively on Linux and uses system's autoconf magic; thus its only a 'normal' configure build which uses another compiler / linker to target win32.
I've now followed the *.dsp discussion here, and we had such discussions very often already (just not long ago again on libcurl list); and finally many agreed when I suggested that we better should concentrate on making proper nmake files rather than looking at each of the different build crap of the various MSVC versions; AFAICT the nmake makefiles work with _all_ MSVC compilers from commandline + are importable into a *.dsp / *.vcproj or whatever else M$ things is good for developer's confusion :) So I would drop the *.dsp at all - a proper nmake makefile is far easier to maintain than those crappy project files - beside this _only_ nmake makefiles can be used at all for any kind of automatic builds. I've never tested, but probably its even possible to call the MSVC IDE from a batch and instruct it via args to automatically read the nmakefile and convert it to a project file ... my 3ct.
