Re: [proteowizard-developer] a hello world example?

[Matt C. <mat...@va...>]

There are unresolved issues with building pwiz with MSVC 10. Our 
official Windows compiler is MSVC 9 (express or not). The TPP uses a 
pwiz (non-vendor-enabled) subset and their official native Windows 
compiler is MSVC 8, but I don't know how MSVC 8 will behave with the 
full codebase. If you run clean.bat and then build the mstools and 
examples (e.g. msconvert, mscat, etc.), do they still build and give the 
error you showed? That looks like a manifest issue. I may have never 
gotten that far with MSVC 10 because I got stuck trying to solve strange 
unit test crashes due to a bug in its stdc++ runtime:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/567705/crash-in-vc100-crt-on-application-exit-debugheapdelete?wa=wsignin1.0#details

In short, for the time being, if you can get your hands on MSVC 9 you'll 
be in much better shape for building and extending pwiz. Even now that 
we're starting to release the libraries in binary form, they will be 
dependent on MSVC 9 until the MSVC 10 issues get resolved.

Sorry for the hassle!
