Converting CVF project to IVF 11.2/ Visual Studio 2008

[jswaugh]

Amazingly it almost worked for a big project Antiope contained in a CFV workspace ("solution?) SPIN3 with 4 other projects. Once when building a release version it gave LNK 2001 error "unresolved exrernal symbol _WinMAinCRTStartup'. When a debug version was tried it gave LNK1104 error "cannot open file .\Debug/Antiope.ilk'. I find the whle procedure a great mystery and have no idea how to respond to these errors.

It would be a great boon to us nonexperts if Intel l(Steve Lionel?)would provide a detailed writeup for us tyros.

I am not sure I can give a "detailed writeup" that is more than what's in the existing article on migrating from CVF. Sometimes the "Extract CVF Project Items" wizard doesn't notice custom command line settings". Most of the time it gets things right, but if it doesn't, I usually suggest that it's not worth the effort to try to "fix" it and that it's better to just create a new soluition and project(s).

I don't know how to advise you on the errors without seeing more information. Would you please attach a ZIP file containing:

1. The .dsp and .dsw files from the CVF workspace
2. The .vfproj, .vcproj and .sln files from the converted solution
3. The buildlog.htm from the failed builds.

I don't need any sources.
