Installation on Windows 32 Platform
===================================

   Starting with Common C++ "2" 1.0rc1, both posix and Win32 libraries
are built from the same source directory (src). The only difference
between them is that Win32 MSVC++ projects use a specific win32
configuration header located in win32/cc++/config.h.

   If you use Cygwin or MingW you may use the autotools
infrastructure.  There is also a specific win32/Makefile.gcc for
Mingw. It has been tested to build dll's with Mingw as cross compiler
on Debian GNU/Linux.

   A win32/Makefile.bcc is provided for Borland C++ compiler
users. Although a bit outdated it should work.


Compiling and testing with MSVC6
================================

   Three workspaces are provided for MSVC++:

   * CCXX2: includes two projects that build ccgnu2.dll and ccext2.dll
(base and extension libraries respectively).

   * CCXX2demo: projects for demo apps.

   * CCXX2tests: projects for tests apps.

   All these projects define the two usual configurations: Debug and
Release. When building under "Debug" all executables, libraries and
compilation temporary objects will go to win32/Debug. When building
under "Release" all executables, libraries and compilation temporary
objects will go to win32/Release.

   As mentioned above, a specific win32/cc++/config.h configuration
header is provided for MSVC++. This header defines "configuration
constants".

   In particular, the HAVE_LIBXML "configuration constant" is defined
so that XML support is compiled and added to ccext2.dll. In order for
this configuration to work, you should have installed libxml2 (the XML
C library for GNOME) on your system. You can get sources (with MSVC++
workspace files) and/or binaries of libxml2 from
http://xmlsoft.org. If you just do not want XML support, simply remove
or comment the line #define COMMON_XML_PARSING in win32/cc++/config.h,
but beware the xml demo applications will not compile due to linking
errors.

Install with MSVC6
==================

   From win32 directory execute install.bat script. This copy headers and 
import libraries in MSVC directory and dll in SDK Path

   You must define some environments variables before launch install.bat
   (defined automatically by batch vcvars32.bat in VC bin directory):
   - MSVCDir the install directory of MSVC ( usually 
     C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98)
   Also you can define:
   - DLL_PATH to point to a place to install things. If not defined it'll be 
     defined to "%MSVCDir%\Bin"


Install with Visual Studio 2008 from SVN
==================

If you checked out the project from SVN and you mean building it by using
Visual Studio 2008 you nead to create solution and projects.
In order to do that you can do the following steps:

- using cygwin
  run from the project root the following commands:
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure
  then you can find the needed files into w32\vs2008 directory. 

- without using cygwin
  1) open configure.ac file and take note of VERSION and LT_RELEASE values
  2) copy w32\vs2008\common.sl.in to w32\vs2008\common.sl
  3) copy w32\vs2008\ccext2.vcproj.in to w32\vs2008\ccext2.vcproj
  4) copy w32\vs2008\ccgnu2.vcproj.in to w32\vs2008\ccgnu2.vcproj
  5) edit w32\vs2008\ccext2.vcproj and w32\vs2008\ccgnu2.vcproj to change
     every entries of VCVERSION to the value of VERSION read before into
     configure.ac, and every entries of DLLVERSION to the value of LT_RELEASE.

Install with Visual Studio 2005 from SVN
==================

If you checked out the project from SVN and you mean building it by using
Visual Studio 2005 you nead to create solution and projects.
In order to do that you can do the following steps:

- using cygwin
  run from the project root the following commands:
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure
  then you can find the needed files into w32 directory. 

- without using cygwin
  1) open configure.ac file and take note of VERSION and LT_RELEASE values
  2) copy w32\ccext2.vcproj.in to w32\ccext2.vcproj
  4) copy w32\ccgnu2.vcproj.in to w32\ccgnu2.vcproj
  5) edit w32\ccext2.vcproj and w32\ccgnu2.vcproj to change
     every entries of VCVERSION to the value of VERSION read before into
     configure.ac, and every entries of DLLVERSION to the value of LT_RELEASE.

Install with Visual Studio 6 from SVN
==================

If you checked out the project from SVN and you mean building it by using
Visual Studio 6 you nead to create solution and projects.
In order to do that you can do the following steps:

- using cygwin
  run from the project root the following commands:
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure
  then you can find the needed files into w32 directory. 

- without using cygwin
  1) open configure.ac file and take note of VERSION and LT_RELEASE values
  2) copy w32\ccext2.dsp.in to w32\ccext2.dsp
  3) copy w32\ccgnu2.dsp.in to w32\ccgnu2.dsp
  4) edit w32\ccext2.dsp and w32\ccgnu2.dsp to change
     every entries of VCVERSION to the value of VERSION read before into
     configure.ac, and every entries of DLLVERSION to the value of LT_RELEASE.
