Building Libidn in Visual Studio 2005

[Martin Strömberg]

Hello!

 

Your document about Libidn from March 2011 says this:

 

"You can build Libidn as a native Visual Studio C++ project. This allows you to build the code for other platforms that VS supports, such as Windows Mobile. You need Visual Studio 2005 or later.

 

/....../

 

Start Visual Studio and open the project file ‘win32/libidn.sln’ inside the Libidn directory. You should be able to build the project using Build Project."

 

But I can't build it in VS2005. I get the following output:

Have I done anything wrong in configuring or something like that?
