like in previous releaes

Visual Studio Express 2008

Please follow the isntallation instructions. You must register for Visual Studio, it's for free.

wxWidgets compilation is straight forward. The project files are located under build/msw.
Recommeded target for first time compilation is the "Unicode Debug" target.

Please read the wx documentation for more details.

The environment variable WXWIN must be set to the directory of the wxWidgets installation (e.g. d:\wxWidgets-2.8.7).

The Maitreya project is located in "maitreya.sln" in the root directory of the package.
The batch script "setup_vcpp_resources.bat" can be used to copy the necessary directories (with language resources etc).

Compilation should be done for the target "Unicode Debug". This must be same as before in wx compilation.

Make "gui" the main project (right click on the project context menu).

Main target of the project is the executable "maitreya.exe" in the directory "src/gui".

Remark: older versions of Developer Studio (like 5.0 or 6.0 and Visual Studio Express 2005) are not supported by the software.
