Re: [Ccrtp-devel] ccRTP with MS VC++

[David Sugar]

First, the existing tarballs already include .dsp and vcproj files for 
building under both VC++ and VS.NET, it would seem redundent to 
distribute yet another source set.  You can build them the same way 
directly from the source distro.

Second, there is no standard locations to construct and install third 
party libraries and headers in the the ms world (equiv of a 
/usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib, etc).  Hence, for libraries, 
especially that have additional dependencies, either an arbitrary one 
must be chosen, and all the project files would then have to be manually 
set with appropriate paths, or one might make choices about where the 
source files are located relative to each other, and use relative paths, 
but all these require manual intervention and specific consideration 
about the build environment.  The CAPE installer addresses this issue by 
providing consistent install locations you can use in your project files
to build your software against.

Yes, I agree more documentation about how to build would be helpful to 
add, and it would be nice to have more examples.
