LGP building with MSVC++ 2010 Express

[Simon J Stuart]

Hi everyone,

This is just a heads-up to anyone thinking of building the Link-grammar Parser using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express... it won’t work (yet), at least not by simply converting the MSVC++ 2008 project files over to 2010!

It should be noted that this isn’t an issue with the LGP’s own source code, but rather the Regex library it requires (from GnuWin32, and it’s latest version 2.7). I’m sure that, with a little tweaking of some project settings, LGP can be made to build successfully under MSVC++ 2010 Express, but I just wanted to make this known before someone misinterprets the issue as being a problem with the LGP source itself.

 

Once I have a little time to spare, I’ll play around with the project settings and attempt to produce some working project files for MSVC++ 2010 Express, at which point I’ll send them to Linas (if you’re okay with that, Linas) so that you can commit them into the SVN.

 

Regards,

Simon J Stuart

Sure, post the files on this mailing list, I'll pick them up at that time.
