Re: VC++ 2005 Express build, work in progress...

Hi,

I'll take that into account, the VS80COMNTOOLS env variable you mentioned,
looks indeed like a better solution.

Ok, but that patch would need some additional changes. As it is now, it
unconditionally generates VC2005 files, it would still need to be able to
generate "old style" project files for backward compatibility. I'll try to
implement it.

* You don't patch the Nant build scripts

I don't know which files are the Nant build scripts.... I obviously missed
those :-)
Can you explain?

I'll change that.

I don't understand why building an individual project should fail but

Building SubWCRev alone failed. msbuild complained something about
"SubWCRev" target not present in .sln file. See if it can be fixed.
