[Box Backup-dev] Problems with compilen under Windows XP with Visual Studio 2003

[Chris Wilson]

Hi Mark,

The Visual Studio 2003 project files have not been updated since I don't 
have a copy of VS2003 to edit them with. You will need to add the missing 
files, whose names have changed slightly.

I really don't understand this one. Can you search your SDK header files 
for _beginthreadex and try to figure out why it's not being defined? It 
should be present on Windows XP.

I think you can safely remove this one.

> 'getpid': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

Can you check your lib/common/BoxConfig.h to see if it says "#define 
HAVE_GETPID? If so, could you comment out that line?

Now called Win32BackupService.cpp.

> c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 
> '\Backup\Box\boxbackup\bin\bbackupd\bbwinservice.cpp': No such file or

Now called Win32ServiceFunctions.cpp.

> Project: win32test:

Now in test/win32.

If you get it to build, please submit your updated project files so that I 
can update the source distribution.

Cheers, Chris.
