Strange... Does it mean it cannot always compile "old" MSVC6 projects
either?
(MSVC7 is the same as .NET isn't it?)

In MSVC6 I can at least tell it to ignore specific libraries, or even
ignore all standard libraries.

Hmmm... I tried, but it was not quite as simple as the instructions.
Some libraries and include files seem to end up in the wrong places
following that procedure. But I think I'll sort it out eventually...
(but now it's weekend off for me!)

In the meantime, I was trying to get the rights Dia sources
corresponding to v0.91final, but short of having a CVS client installed
on this W2k box right now, I grabbed "Cyrille's" CVS snapshots:

 dia-CVS-20030315-0823.tar.gz
 translated-sheets-dia-CVS-20030315-0823.tar.gz

Are there any readily available snapshots corresponding to the released
version?


And if I may ask; is there a reason noone set up a MSVC project file
yet? I know they look really ugly as makefiles, but they would be much
simpler to use from Dev.Studio than compiling every directory manually.
:-)
