Hmm, in that case you'll probably need to compile boost (and WxWidgets) yourself. Boost requires you use boost jam on the command line but is otherwise pretty easy. WxWidgets has project files (by virtue of using the previously-discussed Bakefile system). > http://interreality.org/static/software/0.23/vos-win32-msvc-libs-0.23.0.zip > file but.... that file doesn't exist on the server anymore :P Oops. I'll see if I can find out what happened to that, although I can't say for 100% sure if it will actually work. > Not a big deal yet, since I got mingw (pretty much) working.

(Albiet more awsome for .NET managed code than native code). One issue with Visual Studio is that you can't easily from the IDE tie multiple build systems together in the way that can be done using command line tools and scripts. As a result, each supporting project (in our case boost, wx, crystal space) has to be rather tediously opened separatedly, compiled and copied by hand to the proper place. A pretty common way around this is to dump binaries/headers for all your library dependencies into source control. That this generally works is one of the (few) advantages of the Windows platform monoculture. I may end up doing this as setting up a Windows build environment has proven to be a reliable source of frustration that I'd prefer to avoid. -- [ Peter Amstutz ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [Lead Programmer][Interreality Project][Virtual Reality for the Internet] [ VOS: Next Generation Internet Communication][ http://interreality.org ] [ http://interreality.org/~tetron ][ pgpkey: pgpkeys.mit.edu 18C21DF7 ]
