Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] win7 testing

Hi Mark,

I also used to build usbpicprog with wxDev-C++, but since we switched 
over to libusb-1.0, it is also better to build the application using 
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. (A free version is available).
There is an issue with libusb-1.0 and the mingw compiler (I believe 
especially for the 64 bit version) that made us switch over to MSVC.

To build wxWidgets for msvc, you need to do these steps:
-download and extract wxWidgets-2.9.0
-download and install MS visual studio 2008
-edit wxWidgets-2.9.0\build\msw\config.vc and change the line 
"MONOLITHIC = 1" (it used to be 0)
-start the "ms Visual Studio 2008 command prompt" which is in fact just 
cmd.exe with some environment variables set
-cd wxWidgets\build\msw
-nmake -f makefile.vc
-set an environment variable WXWIN with the value c:\wxWidgets-2.9.0 (or 
wherever you have compiled it) and don't forget to reboot afterwards
-now open the right usbpicprog project 
(usbpicprog\trunk\upp_wx\build\win\upp_wx_vc2008.vcproj)
-you might have to set some include directories, or move around with 
some files if it doesn't compile right away, but in fact it should 
compile now!

Good luck!

Frans
