I don't have this problem.  I just did a clean build and didn't get any 
complaints.  Could you let me know where (which source module) you had 
to add the include?

After looking at all of the errors and warnings you posted, I believe I 
know what is causing the problem.  I'm guessing I built wxWidgets with 
different options than you.  I change some settings in setup.h before 
running nmake with the Microsoft tools.  Here's how I build wxWidgets...

1. Download wxMSW-2.8.7.zip from the wxWidgets web site.
2. Extract the zip file to C:\ExternalPackages.  Extracting creates a 
wxMSW-2.8.7 directory directly under C:\ExternalPackages.
3. Change the name of the top-level wxWidgets directory to 
wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8 so I can have other versions of wxWidgets built with 
other compilers in parallel with this directory.
4. Download wxWidgets-2.8.7-CHM.zip from the wxWidgets web site.
5. Extract the zip file to C:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8. This 
installs the compiled HTML help files for wxWidgets and tex2rtf.
6. Download wxWidgets-2.8.7-HTML.zip from the wxWidgets web site.
7. Extract the zip file to C:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8. This 
installs the HTML help files for wxWidgets and tex2rtf.
8. Make the following changes to 
C:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\include\wx\msw\setup.h:

Macro                        From      To
WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6         1       0
wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM              0       1
wxUSE_IOSTREAMH                 1       0
wxUSE_GLCANVAS                  0       1

We don't really need the OpnGL code for this project, but I use it on 
other projects.  I want to eventually change wxUSE_STL from 0 to 1, but 
a while ago there was a bug reported in this implementation on the 
wxWidgets developers list.

9. Edit C:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\include\wx\msw\wx.rc and 
comment out the following line.

     #include "wx/msw/wince/wince.rc"

10. Use Start | All Programs | Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 | 
Visual Studio .NET Tools | Visual Studio .NET 2005 Command Prompt to 
start a console session.
11. Ensure that the command-line compiler and tools (including nmake) 
are installed and ready to run.
12. Change directory to C:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\build\msw.
13. Build the debug static version of the wxWidgets libraries by typing:

nmake BUILD=debug SHARED=0 USE_OPENGL=1 -f makefile.vc

14. Build the release static version of the wxWidgets libraries by typing:

nmake BUILD=release SHARED=0 USE_OPENGL=1 -f makefile.vc

15. Remove the build directories (vc_msw and vc_mswd) under 
c:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\build\msw.
16. Change directory to 
C:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\utils\tex2rtf\src.
17. Build the release static version of tex2rtf by typing:

nmake BUILD=release SHARED=0 -f makefile.vc

18. Create a directory for the tex2rtf binaries under the wxWidgets 
distribution (c:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\bin).
19. Move the tex2rtf binaries from 
c:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\utils\tex2rtf\src \vc_msw. to 
c:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\bin.
20. Remove the build directory (vc_msw) under 
c:\ExternalPackages\wxMSW-2.8.7-VC8\utils\tex2rtf\src.

Leland, I hope you had the patience to follow all of that ;-)

I really appreciate your attempt to build the code and report the 
problems you had.  This is exactly what I'm looking for in terms of 
build feedback.  I need to post the instructions listed above on the 
Jazz++ web site so others understand what I'm up to.

I know this is asking a lot, but if you could build version 2.8.7 of 
wxWidgets described above and try it with the code in SVN I would really 
appreciate it.

Thanks again for the very useful feedback,
Pete
