Hi,
Thanks for all the effort. This is quite confusing. Anyway, I've used the template you provided and it has made some progress. This is the output the builder gives now.
---------------- Building: sandbox - Windows desktop (vc 2005) Release ----------------
sandbox.ico
sandbox.res
sandbox.cpp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\include\windows.h(157) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'excpt.h': No such file or directory
It used to get to the .res file and fail, now it gets to the .cpp file. It seems to be having problems finding headers that windows.h includes, which is odd.
I've double-checked and there's no excpt.h in that folder but there is one in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\ folder. I expected it to find it there since it's included in Visual Studios list of includes.
Just to try something I added that folder in the Edge Builder include list and it built , although it had a LOT of warnings about redefined macros etc.
I tested the executable and it works (after moving the resource files over manually).
I also tried building for WM5. It also gets further but ends with this error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'OLDNAMES.lib'
It doesn't say where it's expecting the file so I'm not sure if it's one of yours or part of the SDK.
Hope you can make some sense of that...
