there is an #include <shlwapi.h> in fractint / win32 / os_win32.cpp, which requires the MSPSDK Web Workshop (IE) to be installed.. i assume you have a full PSDK installed, but it takes a lot of space..
Yes, Platform SDK is what you should have installed. I think I wrote this out in a .txt file in the source.
i know you did, as well as in a post about upgrading to MSVC EE 2005, but full PSDK takes up 900 MB, while Core and Web modules 130 MB.. may make a difference to someone following your path.. maybe you do have an inflatable hdd, but i don't.. :o]
VC++2005 for Windows and gcc for linux is what's being supported. Want to use old environments? Use old code.
i don't want to clutter the code with #ifdefs, i just found it cumbersome to checkout and edit in eclipse, then update project and build in msvc.. i think it's always nice when you can opt for your preferred environment.. i was hopping for some simple way, with as few mods as possible..? ..and now for something relatively more useful: i noticed you created a fractint / win_help / winfract.rtf file – looking at the source, it seems it does have hyper-text links, but i have no suitable editor to verify it.. is there a way to save it as an x/html file? or should i tweak (enhance) hc.c to spit out x/html? or should i write help*.src parser on my own? how was the now slightly outdated on-line doc at spanky generated? /charlie/
