(apologies for the new thread - for some reason google news doesn't
give me the option to reply to an earlier vcbuild.exe thread)
I'm trying to build a C++ project that was originally created in
MSVC.NET 7.1 by using MS C++ Toolkit 2003 and the vcbuild.exe helper
app.
I did have MSVC.NET installed already and went ahead and installed MC
C++ Toolkit 2003. The 4 examples compiled okay.
Then I tried to compile my app using vcbuild.exe along with both the
..vcproj file and the .sln file and it seemed to work perfectly.
So, I uninstalled MSVC.NET, reboot and now I can't get it to build.
When I start vcbuild.exe in the same place as before, all I see are a
few blank lines - no errors messages but the files are not compiled,
linked, cleaned or anything whichever command line options I chose.
I invoked the option to display the environment and it looks okay -
PATH/LIB/INCLUDE vars all point to the right place.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks in advance.

When no messages show at all, it's probably because we could not
locate vcprojectui.dll. Make sure that vcbuild.exe has vcproject.dll
in the same folder and vcprojectui.dll in a "1033" subfolder and that
should work.

i followed some instructions in an earlier message and put
vcspawn.exe, vcprojectengine.dll, vcprojectui.dll and the .vcstyle
files in the same directory as vcbuild.exe and i am able to compile
stuff - losing vcspawn.exe broke things again and losing the .vcstyle
files caused all kinds of warnings to appear.
my problem now is linkage - i've installed all of the platform sdk and
the .net framework .sdk (to get msvcrt.lib/msvcrtd.lib) but it's still
looking for msvcprt.lib and msvcprtd.lib
i was hoping for a lightweight way to compile some simple opengl apps
on the command line but things seem to be getting out of control.
any suggestions?
See my other mail in this thread.

if you download this def file: (made from msvcp71.dll with dumpbin /exports) http://users.tpg.com.au/adsloptd/msvcprt.def
and run it through LIB /def:msvcprt.def
you get what (I hope) is a usable msvcprt.lib.
IANAL but from what I know of the law (at least in australia) doing this is
legal...

thanks jonathan - that seemed to work, but as you said, since i'm
ultimately trying to find a way for anyone build the project without
the full MSVC.NET installed, i'd need to see if this was legal or not
first.
there is another thread running (ah! - i see you've spotted it ;)) and
it sounds like the project is being linked with the 'wrong' libs but
since i can't change that, i'm not sure where to go from here.
