GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 496722
DSP/DSW files in win32/vs6 directory are in unix format

Visual C++ 6.0 will not open those files if they don't use DOS format. autotools should somehow make sure those files are disted in the right format.
It would be good if someone that knows how to do dist-hooks could give us a snippet that either checks and warns or automatically converts the win32/vs6/*.ds[pw] files to DOS line endings.
Created attachment 99114 [details] [review] patch Here's how to do it. I didn't contemplate too long whether this is the most maintainer-friendly method.
Unmarking this one as a blocker, because I've fixed it manually for this release.
This is fixed for core and base in CVS now: 2007-12-17 Tim-Philipp Müller <tim at centricular dot net> * win32.mak: (win32), (win32defs), (win32crlf): Make check for CR LF in Visual C++ 6.0 project files work, based on patch by David Schleef (#496722, #393626). Theres bug #393626 about the same issue, so closing this and keeping the other one open until it's fixed in all modules.
