Re: [Plib-users] PLIB for WIN32 - configure error C compiler cannot create executables

[Giovi <gio...@gm...>]

Hello John,
thanks a lot for your help!
Maybe I have misunderstood the file "readme" of PLIB configuration.

I have tried to use Visual C++ following the instructions:

*Microsoft Visual C++:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All you need to do is open the workspace "plib.dsw" in MSVC++,
select the "plib" project (using Set Active Project in the Project
menu), and build it (using "Rebuild All" in the Build menu).

In the examples folder, open the workspace "plib_examples.dsw".
Each example has a seperate project in the workspace.  Select
the one you want and build it.  Then you should be able to hit
the Go icon on the toolbar and try it out.

For your own application, please note that the plib workspace
leaves all the necessary includes (*.h) and libraries (*.lib)
in the plib root directory (same as workspace).  The debug
libraries are given a '_d' suffix.  Where ever you put those
files, make sure #include <plib/ul.h> works so your code is
more portable.
*
 But when I rebuild "plib.dsw" I get the error:
Impossible top open plib/pw.h file: no such file or directory

I get same error for all plib files.

What Am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks and regards
