Visual Studio is having trouble viewing the headers

["Tyler, Michelle" <Mi...@unisys.com>]

Hi!  I'm writing a simple test program using the Subversion APIs to get more familiar with the process of calling the functions and so far I haven't been able to compile my code because of errors in the header files in the svn-win32-1.7.4.zip package I downloaded.  The errors I usually get are undefined variable and mission semicolons and missing brackets.  My question is, how do I effectively use these headers/libs with my test program?  I feel like I'm not setting things up correctly for use of the API.  Feel free to ask me to clarify anything.

I assume you are using C or C++, both of which feature a 
macro-replacement feature (called preprocessor) that can totally mess up 
the source code it runs over with just a single #define, leading to 
incomprehensible errors during the compiler stage. In practice, that 
means that

a) without the error messages
b) without the code triggering the faults
c) possibly without the compiler settings

there is little that anyone can do to help you.

In general, for VC, you need to set up the include path so it finds the 
header files (I guess you have that part working already). Then, you 
need to tell the linker where to find things and perhaps what library to 
link, otherwise you get "unresolved symbol" errors while linking. Then, 
you need to tell the runtime loader where to find the DLLs, which you 
can achieve e.g. via the PATH environment or the current working directory.

Good luck!
