Build problems with MS VC++ Express 2005

Hello

I’m having trouble building the ODBC driver on Windows with MS VC++ Express 2005.

I already visited the recent thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2007-06/msg00006.php

Unfortunately, the suggestions made by Mark Cave-Ayland don’t work for me ☹

I’ve done the following:

1. Modified my stock 8.2.4 PostgreSQL interface to include the dev stuff
2. Edited psqlodbc.rc to change: #include “afxres.h” to #include “mfc/afxres.h”
3. Copied C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\ssleay32MT.lib to C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\ssleay32.lib
4. Installed Microsoft VC++ 2005 Express (I’m cheap)
5. Installed Microsoft Windows SDK

When I try to build using VC++ IDE, I get a whole set of errors that say: cannot open "windows.h"

When I try to build using nmake (whether I use the shell that’s part of the windows SDK or VC++) I end up with an error
thatsays cannot open "mfc/afxres.h" (prior to the editing of psqlodbc.rc I got an error that says cannot open
"afxres.h").
 

Any suggestions ? 

Detailed error messages follows:

Hi Sailesh-san.

It seems that you need to arrange according to the following.

Agreed - and to avoid any future confusion, follow *all* steps in there,
including any marked as optional.

Hello Hiroshi-San and Dave

Thanks a lot for the tips. I'm quite the windows noob.
I managed to get things working fine now. It might be nice to be add
these links to the "Compiling on win32 page".

One more thing I found while building the Installer: before building the
installer it's necessary to run the build twice, once with
ANSI_VERSION=yes and once with ANSI_VERSION=no - this way we get both
the Release and the MultiByteRelease directories, which are both
required by the installer.

Folks

Just FYI, but I managed to find a simpler alternate solution to what was
described in the link (of course, both Visual C++ Express and the
Platform SDK must be installed).

I just run the following script (I call it setup.bat) in a normal shell
and that sets up everything I need to build ODBC using nmake:

C:\Documents and Settings\sailesh\Desktop\code>type setup.bat
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\SetEnv.Cmd"

C:\Documents and Settings\sailesh\Desktop\code>setup

C:\Documents and Settings\sailesh\Desktop\code>call "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

Trust Outlook to mess up my email ...

My script, setup.bat contains the following:

===================================================================
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\SetEnv.Cmd"
===================================================================
