This doesn't work.

The Express version of Visual Studio does not support MFC programming. You cannot compile the emulator.dll. (This is why I put all the GUI stuff into the DLL to make it possible to compile the rest of the emulator with Visual C++ Express.) You will have to load the wp34c_express.sln file into VC Express. The emulator DLL is part of SVN, in particular the debug version and symbols.

Sorry Marcus; I still can't compile the emulator. I've done a fresh download of the latest code; I've gone to trunk/windows in the main branch and opened wp34s_express.sln in Visual C++ Express 2010; I've tried selecting both Release and Debug as code targets; and whenever I try to compile I get the error message

Code:

..\emulator\wp34s.rc(10): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'

I can comment out the line in wp34s.rc that is including this file (in the earlier versions I have on my system it is commented out already) but this introduces new errors. The compiler seems to be trying to build the dll itself rather than using the dll already present.

I can still build the emulator in code that I have from May last year, so the recent update of my system to Windows 10 probably isn't responsible! I suspect that the new version of wp34s.rc is to blame but my attempts to edit it have simply produced different compile-time errors. I'm afraid I don't have the expertise to solve this problem myself - can you or anyone else help?
