<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">First of all, I want to thank the people who answered me. </FONT>

<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In fact my problem is quite simple. I've downloaded all the Coin libraries to use the Symphony Project. Now I succeed in compiling Symphony with Linux, but first when I tried to install Symphony on Microsoft XP with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, I failed in just compiling the coin libraries. I've took the Win directory, but I simply don't understand how use the files that I found. I try to build the Osi library using osi.dsp, but when I check<I> build</I> in MVS, it gives me the answer:</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">and when I tried to</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">export Makefile</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> it didn't work, not even a failure message.</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I would say, that now I have enough to work with Linux, but I would still like to understand what I've done wrong with Microsoft.</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks a lot.</FONT>
