Last week I received the MSDN Membership offer for Apache Committers. It is an MSDN Ultimate, which is surprising and far more than I can use. The current interest on MSDN is in Visual Studio 2010 and the 2011 upgrades for Azure, WindowsPhone, etc. But older versions can be downloaded.
(My first use was to download an ISO image of FrontPage 2003 to replace the one I managed to discard by mistake and lost when I upgraded some of my computers. No matter what folks said about FrontPage, I still love the web-site development process it allows me to continue to use, an easier and older model that predates the complex Apache CMS equivalent.) I will not upgrade beyond Visual Studio Express editions, however. I want to be certain that anything I create can also be built by anyone using only tools that are available without charge. - Dennis PS: Now that the 64-bit Visual C++ compiler is freely available, a target for me is to build 64-bit apps. I doubt that I am smart enough to do whatever is needed to make a full-up win64 installer build of AOO though. -----Original Message----- From: Ariel Constenla-Haile [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2012 15:35 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: my build breaks in libxslt Hi Regina, On Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 10:59:58PM +0100, Regina Henschel wrote: > Hi all, > > I try to build with MSVC 2008 express on WinXP. did you know that Apache committers have access to MSDN Subscriptions, including Visual Studio 2008? :) > It breaks in libxslt. > > I'll attach the error message below.

It looks like the patches are applied to an already extracted and patched version. Sure an issue with the timestamps so_* files Simply remove libxslt\wntmsci12.pro and try rebuilding from zero.
