Hi Volker,

I've commited the patches. These are tagged with cws_src680_icu2003tk
(makefile.mk and makefiles.zip). With my environment it works fine, but I can't
check it with the .NET2003 Toolkit (VS is installed).

Oliver.

Oliver, I'll have to find a computer where I can install .NET2003 Toolkit.
I'll then report back.

Hallo Oliver,

first test of this module.

First Problem: The cl.exe version is 13.10.3052, this is detected as COMEX=8
in configure and configure complains about missing wdevenv.exe. Not your
problems, I'll fix.

Second: Please use $/.
-BUILD_ACTION=cd allinone\all && cmd /c nmake /f all.mak CFG="all - Win32
Release" && cd ..\..
+BUILD_ACTION=cd allinone$/all && cmd /c nmake /f all.mak CFG="all - Win32
Release" && cd ..$/..

Third: nmake is required. This is not part of the toolkit, but I found
a version in the 64 bit part of the psdk:
Microsoft SDK/Bin/Win64/nmake.exe (Seems to work)

But finally it fails with:
        link.exe kernel32.lib user32.lib /nologo /dll /incremental:no /pdb:".\Re
                                              lease\icudt26l.pdb" /machine:I386
/out:"..\..\bin\icudt26l.dll" /implib:"..\..\l                                 
             ib\icudata.lib" ".\Release\stubdata.obj"

Stop.

                                               code '0x2'
Stop.

On this machine I only have one msvcrt.lib:
$ find /cygdrive/c/Programme/ -iname msvcrt.lib
/cygdrive/c/Programme/Microsoft SDK/Lib/IA64/msvcrt.lib

But I'm a bit reluctant about using IA64 libraries.

Hi Oliver,

at <http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/MS_20C_2b_2b_20Toolkit> they say
it is included in the .NET Framework SDK.

But on that page is also a nice trick to generate needed import libs
on the fly.

Grr, that will get interesting for configure, but for the moment I just
copied msvcrt.lib to the lib directory of the toolkit installation and
the build continued until:

bscmake??

Last update for today:

By borrowing bscmake from another computer with .NET2002 installed
icu builds to the end.

Hmm, that means one can build without the convert tool, but you still
need access to a real MS Visual Studio version.

I guess we cannot write: ... and borrow a bscmake from a friend with a
Visual Studio version ... ? 

Hi Volker,

many thanks for your help!

I've commited a new makefiles.zip which doesn't use bscmake.exe anymore.

Oliver.

The new version builds for me with vc toolkit.

Updatetests didn't show strange results
