[Openslp-announce] ENABLE_PREDICATES not defined in default MSVC project files

[Matt P. <ma...@sc...>]

Hi,

I reciently found out that there is an error in the MSVC project files=20
that causes predicate functionality to be ommited from win32 builds of=20
OpenSLP.  The problem is that we did not update the MSVC project files=20
when we updated the autoconf/automake build system used on *nix=20
platforms. =20

The old #define USE_PREDICATES was changed to ENABLE_PREDICATES in the=20
autoconf/automake build system and in the code, but the change was=20
never made to the MSVC project files.

If you are building OpenSLP using MSVC on win32, you will need to change=20
the project settings so that ENABLE_PREDICATES is defined instead of=20
USE_PREDICATES.  To do this, select the Project -> Settings menu option=20
(or use the alt-f7 hotkey).  Select "slpd" in the left panel and set=20
the "Settings For" spinner to "All Configurations".  "In the=20
Preprocessor definitions" replace the string "USE_PREDICATES" to=20
"ENABLE_PREDICATES".  After making this change, do a "rebuild all" on=20
slpd.
