Thanks James, Your note renewed my interest in trying to figure this out (Remember that I have never used MSVC6 - all my C experience is outdated command line compiler stuff).
Options under the Build menu didn't really do anything. I just discovered that you can set the Active Project, and the current project from the download was Xregion. I set this to winvnc, and then tried a "Build winvnc4.exe". This time, my PC got busy compiling.... then stopped with this error: Updating buildTime buildTime.cxx fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler generated file: 'Debug\buildTime.obj': No such file or directory There isn't a folder called Debug (there IS one called Debug_Unicode however). This first attempted build is on an untouched download of the sources from yesterday. I'm going to continue my digging. Comments welcome if I'm missing the obvious. -thanks Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Weatherall Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 9:38 AM To: 'Mike Scott'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Building Win32 binaries from source? Mike, The VNC 4 source code is designed to be built under MSVC 6. You just load it and build the relevant project, or batch build them all.
