Hi, In the future please direct questions about RDKit to the mailing list (I've CC'ed it on this message) so that we can have a convenient archive of questions and answers.

Hi I'm trying to build RDKit on a Windows system and am running into a problem. I'm trying to build the project testMolOps and having problems building libSmilesParse. The files "smarts.tab.hpp" and "smiles.tab.hpp" cannot be found. Are these missing from the distribution or generated as part of the non-c file compilation.
These files, which are part of the smiles and smarts parsers along with a couple of others that will show up as later errors, are generated by the utilities flex and bison. These are usually part of a cygwin distribution or can be downloaded separately from several places (here's one: http://www.monmouth.com/~wstreett/lex-yacc/lex-yacc.html). Once you have these installed and in your path, visual studio should be able to automatically generate the the .tab.hpp files. I hope this helps, -greg
