VS Express compilation support

Description

I've been doing tests to see if MGOS can be built with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and all the errors are due to non-existent headers in the Express Edition.

Most (all?) of the .rc files reference the following header/resource files that do not exist in the express edition:

  • afxres.h
  • winres.h
  • afxres.rc

By replacing all these references with "winresrc.h", the entire MGOS source (Oem, Common, Server, WebTier) will build successfully.

Attached is a patch for all the affected rc files (and removes 2 unused MFC/ATL header #includes from CCoordinateSystemCatalog) which will make the source buildable with VC express.

This ticket does not cover the installer components, which I have made a separate ticket for (#1411)

comment:4 by jng, 14 years ago

Oem.sln doesn't load cleanly in VS express because it contains a C# SQLiteGUI project which is not used (confirm?).

Attached is a patch that removes this project. The solution file as-is can be built, but you just have to ignore an error loading the SQLiteGUI project. This patch is just for completeness.
