Building Xalan-C 2.5.0 using VC 7.1

[Steve Dussinger <sd...@adobe.com>]

I'm trying to build Xalan-C 2.5.0 using VC7.1 (Visual Studio.Net 2003).
When I try to compile, I get an error saying:

Cannot Open Include File: 'LocalMsgIndex.hpp': No such File or Directory.

This file does not exist on my machine at all. I've looked through the
archives of the xalan-c mailing list, and I see a reference to this error
that someone else was having.

It seems that according to the previous thread there is some sort of
Localization project which needs to be built. I can't seem to find anything
in the source package called localization, so I'm at a compete loss.

What's the magic incantation that I need to utter to get this thing to
compile??

Thanx,
  Steve Dussinger

Just want to add to Dave's reply .. 

You should take a look at the FAQ section of the documentation regarding 
your problem with the LocalMsgIndex.hpp file ... 

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/faq.html#faq-29

Also the docs contain instructions on building with VC7.1 as Dave pointed 
out.

There is no version of Xalan-C called 2.5.0.  Perhaps you meant Xalan-C
1.8.0, which is the latest version, and is compatible with Xerces-C 2.5.0?

This file is generated as part of the build process.

No magic is required.  However, you will need to read the documentation:
