Patch for adding support for Visual Studio .NET 2003 compiler

Created attachment 16431 [details]
Visual Studio .NET 2003 project files

Reassigning to libsigc++, because that's what the patch seems to be for.

Please give me a filename for the Visual Studio project file. I would
like to put this in a release in the next few days.

Note that the project filename should probably be called
MSVC/libsigc++_msvcX.something, next to the exising
MSVC/libsigc++_msvc6.dsp. I guess the X would be 8 (if that's what
they call it) or Net2003 or something.

Please check that works.

New Project files

Please tell us what that attachment is. For instance, please give us a
filename.

The attached zip file contains the following project files:

libsigc++_mscvNet2003.vcproj
libsigc++_msvcNet2003.sln
README.msvcNet2003
tests/   
tests/bind_return_test/
tests/bind_return_test/bind_return_test.vcproj
tests/bind_test/

tests/class_slot_test/class_slot_test.vcproj
tests/connection_test/
tests/connection_test/connection_test.vcproj
tests/hide_test/
tests/hide_test/hide_test.vcproj
tests/method_slot_test/

tests/retype_test/retype_test.vcproj
tests/size_test/
tests/size_test/size_test.vcproj
tests/slot_test/
tests/slot_test/slot_test.vcproj

These project files allow the building of debug and release versions 
of ligsigc++ and all test cases.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. I am trying to add this stuff, but:

1.
The README tells people to read a README that doesn't exist.

2.
Why does the main .vcproj also need a .sln, but the test .vcproj files
don't.

3.
Why are the .vproj files in subdirectories? These subdirectories don't
exist yet.

I've rearranged things a bit. I'll release a new tarball and you can
tell me if it works. If not, I'll release another.

The .sln file is used to load all the projects into one workspace.  
This is the same as .dsw files in Visual Studio 6.0.  Thie .vcproj 
files will only load that single project onto the workspace.   This 
is the same as *.dsp file in Visual Studio 6.0.  Each .vcproj files 
are in there own directory because Visual Studio automatical creates 
the directories /Debug and /Release in the same directory as 
the .vcproj files.  Therefore, it's very ugly and nearly imposible to 
get Visual Studio to function properly if ever .vcproj file were in 
the same directory.  If you move things around I may be able to get 
it to work, but I make no guarantees.

So, I think I've done what you wanted. Please try the 1.2.5 release
and tell me if anything needs fixing.

By the way, the gtkmm changes are waiting until I hear whether this
one worked.

In the tarball I brought down, there are two new directories MSVC and 
MSVC_NET2003.  Both have the new project files in them.  Which one 
will you be keeping?  MSVC_NET2003 is the same what I gave you and 
will work just fine.  MSVC has changed a little bit and would need a 
few small changes to get them to work.  Let me know if you will be 
adding MSVC to CVS and I will make the required changes.

Hmm. There should be an MSVC_6 directory, and the MSVC directory 
should be removed. I'll check. Thanks.

Fixed. Thanks.
