Thanks. That did the trick. Sorry for such a rookie mistake. I'm just getting used to building open-source projects on windows (I've been developing on FreeBSD for years but writing Windows code is paying the bills now). Part of the problem is that VS didn't tell me that there was a failure running the XLF rule on XalanMsgLib. Looking in BuildLog.htm, it tells me that "A tool returned an error code" but it still didn't say anything about a missing DLL.... To avoid a manual step (and adding to the already polluted windows path), I added a Post-Build Event to the MsgCreator project that copies the Xerces DLLs: copy $(XERCESCROOT)\Build\Win32\VC8\$(ConfigurationName)\*.dll $(OutDir) Thanks again, -Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
