In fact, it is possible to use a small part of MFC on express editions (but it is more a headache than a solution) and no ATL at all.

The recomendation for Express users is to use Windows template library -WTL 8.0-, an CPL1.0 project at http://wtl.sourceforge.net/

I used to compile the srcs in Visual C++ 2005 Express months ago.
To disable a resource you can put --disabe-{resource} at Custon build step of ptbuildopts.h.in of Header Files in Console project. For example add: --disable-ipv6 to disable IPv6 support

I think it is not the correct place to put this configuration (you need do it 3 times for debug, release and pseudo-debug). If some know the correct place, please correct me.

Thank you. I added the MS SDK directory to the PWLIB_CONFIGURE_EXCLUDE_DIRS and build ptlib & h323plus successfully. I used ptlib_2005.sln in VC++ 2008 express ed. However, the Speech API comes with the platform SDK so that not only speech API was disabled but many other SDK features like DNS resolver were disabled as well because they are in the same SDK platform directory. Is it possible to disable only Speech API?

no longer supported in h323plus.

You are correct VS 2008 express edition does not support ATL or MFC so you

are very limited with what you can do. With the issue below, the easiest way
is to uninstall the microsoft TTS (Text to speech) SDK (if installed). If it
came with the platform SDK then you will need to see the directory where the

configure program detects the support and exclude that directory.

This can be done by adding the directory to an environmental variable
PWLIB_CONFIGURE_EXCLUDE_DIRS (or PTLIB_CONFIGURE_EXCLUDE_DIRS)
In XP. under control panel > system > advanced > environmental variables.


Note: you will need to close and reopen the VS project to detect the
environmemental variable change.

Subject: [h323plus] VC++ express ed. build problem



Hello Friends,

Anybody managed to build ptlib/h323plus on Visual C++ 2008 express
edition? I get file not found error for atlbase.h included at ptts.cxx
when triing to compile ptlib. I used MSVC6 so far without problem,  I

never tried to compile ptlib/h323plus on VC express editions, but the
problem maybe is that express editions do not support ATL. Any solution
to this?

I used the latest source code from h323plus.org - h323plus 1.20.1 &

PTLib 2.0.1, followed the instructions by voxgratia and loaded ptlib.sln
into Visual studio.

Regards,
Zarko
