As an aside, have you noticed that Windows XP becomes very sluggish after installing either of these compilers? I have usually installed 2005 on my systems and soon after have noticed that the start menu, redrawing of the desktop, and explorer have long delays in them. I can't find anything on the web about this, but I'm suspicious. Maybe it bloats the registry? > One related issue: Visual C++ 2005 express edition + the free platform SDK > kit which I have installed with it do not contain the odbc32 library which is > in apps/msw/makefile.vc. I removed the library from the makefile, and noticed > that wxLua compiled fine without it. How do you compile wxWidgets? You use 2.8.7? I see that all wxWidget's *.dsp files and makefile.vc link to it.
