<div>Are you using SP1 of the express edition? Just want to make sure off the bat, because you'll get runtime errors if not. </div><div><br></div>Anyway, some more info. VSTool will fail for express editions because you can't set the startup project with it (should be imprudence-bin). That's normal. VC++ Express is also missing the redistributable files the full version has, so when you try to copy them it'll fail. The link for the redist is in the compile instructions, and it tries to copy them in CopyWinLibs.cmake.<div>
<br></div><div>Are you building 1.3 or 1.4?</div><div><br></div><div>Here're the in-development compile instructions for both:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://wiki.kokuaviewer.org/wiki/Imprudence:Compiling/1.4/Windows">http://wiki.kokuaviewer.org/wiki/Imprudence:Compiling/1.3/Windows</a></div>
<div><a href="http://wiki.kokuaviewer.org/wiki/Imprudence:Compiling/1.4/Windows">http://wiki.kokuaviewer.org/wiki/Imprudence:Compiling/1.4/Windows</a><br><div><br></div><div>If the info about the redist isn't in there, it definitely needs to be added! Info also needs to be added to 1.3 that in order for the package project to run without errors, you need NSIS Unicode installed even though we use ISS instead.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For 1.3, you need imprudence-bin.exe.config, Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest, msvcp80.dll, and msvcr80.dll in the executable directory. You can open imprudence-bin.exe in the resource editor and make sure the embedded manifest is looking for the right version of the CRT you have installed (should be .4053 for VC++ 2005 SP1, I think). </div>
<div><br></div><div>For 1.4, we don't distribute private assemblies anymore (i.e. the built-in .config generating system. I forget exactly why we don't, I think it was some sort of weird dependency issue) so any .config files the build system generates will probably cause you errors. Try deleting them and seeing if it works then. (If you want to use private assemblies instead, the build system prolly needs updating to support plugins. I'd look into how Snowglobe 1.5 did it then update Imp.) </div>
<div><br></div><div>Are you using NSIS or ISS for your installer? Because we've been using ISS, so the Linden NSIS installer script probably needs some work before it'll work correctly. Hell, the packaging system's still pretty awkward for 1.4 on Windows (you build the package project, let it fail, then run the ISS script), so I'm not surprised you're having issues with it. It *definitely* needs some work!</div>

true.exe from cygwin and naming it ...tools/vstools/VSTool.exe, it<br>
runs with no 'errors'.<br>
<br>
But the resulting project files seem to have issues. After<br>
<br>
$ python develop.py -G VC80 configure -DPACKAGE:BOOL=ON<br>
<br>
and loading the .sln into Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express<br>
Edition, and doing a build (debug, release, or RelWithDebInfo) it<br>
complains about various missing files such as msvcr80.dll, and<br>
eventually meta-impy-bin.exe.config. If I hunt about my<br>
development trees I can copy files into the meta-impy source tree<br>
to get it to make a package. But after installing and trying to<br>
run the result, I get an error about the config being bad.<br>
<br>
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Perhaps something<br>
busted in the meta-impy fork?<br>
