[Hermesmail-discuss] How can I compile Eudora/Hermes Source Code ?

[Ronald v. G. <ro...@t-...>]

Hi Steve.

I took a way, but I finally could setup a Virtual Machine with 
Windows XP 32 Bits (Visual Studio 2002 cannot be installed on a 64 
bits OS), installed VS2002 and imported Hermes project.

... but it cannot been compiled.

As I see, project file needs at least 2010 version.

I've installed a VS2010 and tried to compiled, but I get a lot of 
errors, most of them due to the use of 'noexcept' expression that 
it's only supported at VS 2015 or above, and with VS2015 I get tons 
of errors trying to compile.

Can anyone tell me is there a way to compile the source code ?

Thank you in advance.

Ronald

The VS solution file that came from the publicly released code seems 
to work with VS2002.
There are some error messages that come up, though, while compiling, 
due to the absence of the stingray material.  I've never come across 
stingray before seeing it referenced in the Eudora source code.
