Dear sir/madam,

I am working on winamp general purpose pluggin "gen_whatsplaying " project
I downloaded the project "gen_whatsplaying" available on www.schaffrath.net
..
I am working on it, but getting many errors during compilation and building
the application successfully. I am using MS VC++ 6.0 compiler to compile and
build it.
I also downloaded and installed the speech SDK 5.1 from MS site and Winamp
SDK's from Winamp's web site on my PC to remove the errors. But still I am
getting many compilation and linking errors during the build, and therefore
unable to get the desired .dll file for winamp general plugins.
As suggested by the project developer, and as per microsoft specification, I
downloaded and installed the February 2003 version of the Platform SDK on
my C:\ drive and configured it to use with VC++ 6.0
Now , after making all the changes to configuration setting to include and
lib, in VC++ 6.0 when I am building the project, I didn't see any changes in
the previous errors which I used to get during compilation before it all
remains the same, no changes at all. I think VS 6.0 is not supporting the
"February 2003 version of the Platform SDK at all.

Just wanted to know if any one knows about it in this community to help me
out. I really appreciate yours help and kind cooperation with me.
I request you to please let me know how do I get rid of this problem now.
any help on it is highly appreciated.


Thanks,
shyam

Hi Shyam,

it would be very good if you could post some of the build errors.
Notably most fo them are a result of missing includes i think or
wrong paths or missing linking directories. But it would be very
good if you could post some detailed compiler/linker errors, so that
we can tell you the (possible) reasons for them.


Best regards

It would be very good also if the OP could use one of the many
microsoft.public.platformsdk.* newsgroups. Unless I've missed something,
this has nothing to do with winternals.

I suppose to someone who doesn't follow the news, the group name
would be strongly suggestive of one that covered "Windows Internals".

The fact that the group only recently appeared would make it
particularly noticeable.

As Winternals is eventually completely absorbed into Microsoft and no
longer has an external identity, the meaning of the group name will
become even more obscure.
