[Coin-discuss] Alps MS-VS workspace

>fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'configall_system.h'
This is from not specifiying Coin-Alps\BuildTools\headers in the include
path
This type of detail can be specified in the project files.

The other errors may need source code changes to put it in a form
acceptable by the MS compiler.
I was trying to ask if the Alps source code is written in a way that the
compiler accepts.

A possible way to test this without the project files is to build with the
MS compiler in the cygwin environment.
Something like the following should work:
   cd \cygwin\home\magala\COIN_NEW\Coin-Alps
   ./configure -C CXX=cl
   make
   make test
   make install
see: https://projects.coin-or.org/MSVisualStudio/wiki
The configure line indicates that the MS compiler (cl) should be used
rather than gcc.
Of course the cl compiler will need to be in your path for this to work.

I was unaware that v8 was freely available. We have VS2003 installed
here at work - and it runs v7.

When I put ALPs source into project workspace I get:

c:\cygwin\home\magala\COIN_NEW\Coin-Alps\Alps\src\AlpsConfig.h(38) :
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'configall_system.h': No
such file or directory
AlpsSubTree.cpp

among other errors like:
c:\cygwin\home\magala\COIN_NEW\Coin-Alps\Alps\src\AlpsKnowledge.cpp(29)
: error C2039: '__ctor' : is not a member of 'AlpsKnowledge'
