[ome-devel] Building OMERO-CPP bindings on Windows

Hi Donald,

after more discussion with the team in Dundee here are some further ideas/suggestions:

 * Have you tried compiling a simple Ice application like the demos using VS 2010?

 * If that works, could you try a simple OMERO application using the pre-built binaries:

   http://hudson.openmicroscopy.org.uk/job/OMERO-trunk-components/component=cpp,label=x86-windows/

 * If you can't get the Ice application to work with VS 2010, what are the chances of your using VS 2008?

 * If none, would you be up for trying to import the VS 2008 msproj file for OMERO (cd OmeroCpp; ant msproject) into VS 2010?

After the release of 4.3.2 (imminently), we can start to evaluate whether we need to / can upgrade SCons and Ice.

Sorry for the hassle.
~Josh.

If it's still not clear, send config.log along with compiler.log and scons.log so we can try to figure things out. Info on which compiler you're using and how it's installed / initialized would also be helpful. The initialization we do in docs\hudson\OMERO-cpp.bat is:
