#187 Can't build GLEW in Visual Studio 2010
Your Visual Studio 6 project/solution files is a little bit out of date. After conversion of the solution into Visual Studio 2010 project and building I get error "LNK1181: cannot open input file '../../lib/glew32sd.lib". Please fix the project/solution files or suggest other solution.
Oh, OK. I'll give VC10 a try.
Thanks for the report.
Confirming this. I can build each project individually, but rebuilding the entire solution fails.

I think the problem is that each configuration win32/win64 & debug/release needs to put files in independent places for the parallel build to work. I put VC10 projects in the git repo, but it needs more attention, I think.
VC10 projects are included in GLEW 1.8.0, now available.
Batch build does not work, but project-by-project does work OK.
This needs some more attention.
Fixed in GLEW 1.10.0
Closing.
Thanks for the report.
