Building NeatTools Executable From Source
Neattools online home is not available yet, but I did get source, and built it.
Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP
- open Visual Studio, and open the solution in trunk/ms/msdebug.sln
- Convert project, no special changes, just hit Next and Finish
- Build menu, select Clean Solution
- Build menu, select Rebuild Solution
Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 2000
- open Visual Studio, and open the solution in trunk/ms/msdebug.sln
- Build menu, select Clean Solution
- Build menu, select Rebuild Solution
The Rebuild did NOT work for me, there was an error related to WM_MOUSEWHEEL and WHEEL_DATA
Looking online, this seems to be a Windows mystery that happens to other people on other projects, so I copied on of the many online solutions:
In JComponent.cpp, I had to add lines:
// no idea why I have to do this, but I do (other people had same problem) #ifndef WM_MOUSEWHEEL #define WM_MOUSEWHEEL 0x020A #define WHEEL_DELTA 120 /* Value for rolling one detent */ #endif
After adding those, the Rebuild Solution worked.
