[Passwordsafe-devel] Important - Visual Studio 2005 and Revision 3863 (Windows: MFC and wxWidgets)

[David K. <dk...@gm...>]

The released version of PasswordSafe on Windows is now built using Visual
Studio 2010 (VC10), although the Visual Studio 2005 (VC8) project files are
still in the repository and supported for now.

In order to stop builds of each version interfering with builds of the
other, revision 3863 changed the target build directory for VC8 from 'build'
to "build8" leaving "build" reserved for VC10.

The files that have this hard-coded and are in the repository have been
altered by this update.  However, developers using Visual Studio 2005 *MUST*
re-run the "configure8.vbs" script in "/src/ui/windows" and/or
"src/ui/wxWidgets" to update variables used by Visual Studio 2005 in order
to ensure that their projects build correctly.

For those using Visual Studio to build the BETA wxWidgets version on
Windows, as well as re-running "configure8.vbs", they should note that, as
VC10 is now the default, the corresponding wxWidgets static libraries are
excepted to be in the directory "/lib/vc_lib" and the VC8 built wxWidgets
static libraries are now expected to be in the directory "/lib/vc8_lib".
 Previously, vc_lib was expected to have the VC8 built wxWidgets static
libraries and vc10_lib the VC10 equivalent. The file:
"\wxWidgets_VS2010_Updates\build\msw\wxBuild_wxWidgets.bat" can be used to
build the VC8 and VC10 static libraries - including the 64-bit VC10
versions.
