Re: [platform-swt-dev] Problem with Building SWT using MSVC 6 on XP

[Kiran Kumar <kiran.kuppa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have figured the problem out! Its been sometime I have been out of 
MSVC world.
Since then quite a lot of sinister stuff seems to have happened to 
Microsoft's tool
chain. However, there is no proper documentation for a beginer to build the
source and get ready.  Anyways, for any one wanting to build ONLY SWT and
has
Microsoft Visual Studio 6, Windows XP /2000  download Microsoft Platform
SDK for Windows 2003 SP1 into a directory that does't contain spaces ( Ugh!,
morons still did't fix this space problem ) and simply add the  include 
path and
library path of this SDK at appropriate place in make_win32.mak file. 
And you
are ready.

Thanks,

Kiran Kumar
