Windows MSVC6 Compile error


I'm trying to compile metakit on a windows system, and using the
provided MSVC6 solution from the 2.4.9.6 distro I get the following
error:

..\tcl\mk4tcl.h(12): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'tcl.h': No such file or directory

I tried to open the MSVC6 solution from the 2.4.9.7 and every project
in the solution caused the error:

Cannot load the project due to a corrupt project file.

If any has any advice I'd appreciate it, but I thought you should know
regardless in case I'm not the only one with these errors.

Thanks,
John

The problem is the old issue of line endings. The release tar.gz has
been checked out on a unix-type system and has created the .dsp files
with unix line endings which msvc hates. You can easily convert the
line-endings using any number of tools.

Ah, thanks.  This must have happened during the CVS -> SVN migration.

Fixed by running the following svn command:
	svn propset svn:eol-style CRLF win/msvc60/*.ds?

I've uploaded a new 2.4.9.7 tarfile with crlf line endings.
