Because I guess it will seem unusual why I'd want to build it myself instead of using the binary development distribution, some explanation might be useful.
I downloaded the Google Desktop Search plug-in Larry's WordPerfect Indexer, and it doesn't seem to index all of my WordPerfect files. Actually, none at all that I've tried, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that it's doing some :-).
Using the libwpd tools, it was pretty obvious that it isn't a libwpd fault: wpd2text and friends process the files just fine. So I tried downloading the source for Larry's WordPerfect Indexer and rebuilding it with the intention of running it with some debug, and ran into an issue on linking.
On build, I get errors like:
libwpd-0.8.lib(WPXString.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl std::_Xran(void)" ([EMAIL PROTECTED]@@YAXXZ) referenced in function "public: __thiscall WPXString::WPXString(class WPXString const &)" (??0WPXString@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@Z)
which seems to be related to this issue:

The cure is probably to rebuild libwpd with VS 2005, hence my question. As Larry's WordPerfect Indexer is an ATL application, I can't really use MinGW. At least I think I can't, but I'm happy to be proved wrong - I've built libwpd with MinGW and, although it was a little difficult getting the dependencies right and working around some of the incompatible libraries etc (bzip2 comes to mind), it worked eventually by omitting bzip support. So, if the solution is to build libwpd-0.8.lib with MinGW and link with VS 2005, I'll be fine with that, but I'd still like to know what dependent packages I need to install.
Thanks, any help much appreciated.
