Errors while building the solution in VS2017

[adarshrao]

Hi,

These are the errors I faced while trying to build IPMSG from the source code.

Note : I have installed the latest Visual Studio 17 Community with the appropriate SDKs.

Action Taken : "Build IPMSG"

## Error #1 :

In Text : "STL1001: Unexpected Compiler Version, expected MSVC 19.12"

Build Log : https://justpaste.it/1iwaw

Comments : My compiler version is "Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.13.26129 for x64" so it's definitely not <1912

Solution :
In the taskbarui.cpp file that is loaded just before the error, "#define _MSC_VER 1500" is used. I changed the 1500 to be 1913. The error disappears.

##Error #2 :

in text: "cannot open file "lib/sqlite3.lib"

In my debug folder, I can see a file 'sqlite3.lib' however, it cannot seem to be opened. I've tried running Visual Studio as administrator but that did not have any effect.

I've also tried googling the error "LNK1104 cannot open file lib/sqlite3.lib" but that didn't help either.

I found this Stack Overflow board and tried this but that didn't help either - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/133698/why-does-fatal-error-lnk1104-cannot-open-file-c-program-obj-occur-when-i-c

Solution : I had to manually copy the generated sqlite3.lib file from the /Debug/ folder to the /Lib/ folder outside and 'Build IPMSG' again. It generated the .exe file this time.

I'm unsure of how one can solve these issues in general or if my way of doing it was correct. Figured I would put it here so that it might help someone in the future.

Cheers.

error2 can be resolved by modify the vcxproj file:
