Re: config error on Windows 7

Hi,

I have the same problem with my configure call.

I get error: 
Can't find MS Visual Studio / VC++ at ./oowintool line 236.
configure: error: oowintool failed to copy CRT

I tried the solution suggested in earlier posts but no luck.
My configure call looks like this:

SDK_PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0"
./configure \
    --with-frame-home="$SDK_PATH" \
    --with-psdk-home="$SDK_PATH" \
    --with-midl-path="$SDK_PATH/bin" \
    --with-directx-home="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft DirectX SDK (June
2010)" \
   --with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.8.4" \
   
--with-dmake-url="http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2"
\
   
--with-epm-url="http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz"
\
    --enable-pch \
    --disable-atl \
    --disable-activex \
    --disable-binfilter \
    --without-junit

I found the key on my system aswell but in my case oowintool does not find
it.

A closer look to the configure, the oowintool and also my Windows 7 
registry reveals the following:
The searched registry key does not exist, but registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup\VC 
exists which is somehow found by the oowintool - see <sub 
reg_get_value($)> in oowintool. I observed this situation on three 
Windows 7 machine (virtual ones and non-virtual ones) on which I have 
setup an AOO build environment.

Did you found the same registry key on your system?
Currently, I do not know what went wrong on your system.

This wonders me as I have setup a system without any Visual Studio 
installed. The compiler comes with the Windows SDK. This system does not 
have the memntioned key in the registry and the configure works.

I will have a closer look into the configure.

I got hold of a copy of Visual Studio Express 2008. With the configure call
above 'oowintool' was called.
The Win SDK did not add the mentioned key to the registry, nor did Visual
Studio Express 2008 installer.

The needed compiler comes with the Windows SDK, but not the Visual 
Studio Express application.
For building AOO the compiler is needed, Visual Studio is not needed.

I thought it was available via the Windows SDK for Windows 7:

Hm..
What version of Visual Studio Express did you install?
Version 2008 which contains the compiler which is needed to build AOO is 
no longer publicly available.

As far as I remember, if you have give the paths to the compiler as 
configure options 'oowintool' should not be called. I need to have a 
closer look.

The path exist, however there was a key missing in the registry.
Installing Visual studio express did not add the key specifying where to
find VC. I simply added the key oowintool was looking for on line 236.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup\VC\ProductDir 
and gave it the value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC"

After that the configure and bootstrap steps executed ok, as far as I can
see.

Does this path/directory - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\ 
- exist on your system?
