Instructions for using the Visual C project/workspace files:

These files include the information for compiling GalaxyView with VC6. In order to build GV, you will also need to have downloaded and built wxWindows (www.wxwindows.org). The current version is 2.4.1, however both 2.4.0 and the CVS version work.

In the 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 versions there is a bug (see below for the fix.) This bug has been fixed in CVS.

You also need to build the xrc library that comes with wxWindows. It is in contrib/src/xrc. Additionally, you will need sqlite (http://www.sqlite.org) and expat (http://expat.sourceforge.net.)

These project files do not specify any include/library folders - you will need to set these yourself either in the project settings or in your Visual C++ settings. These were ommitted due to the fact that they will be installed in different locations on different machines.

The bug you need to fix in one of the source files - src/common/fs_zip.cpp Add the following code:

if (right.Contains(wxT("./")))
{
    if (right.GetChar(0) != wxT('/')) right = wxT('/') + right;
    wxFileName rightPart(right, wxPATH_UNIX);
    rightPart.Normalize(wxPATH_NORM_DOTS, wxT("/"), wxPATH_UNIX);
    right = rightPart.GetFullPath(wxPATH_UNIX);
}

before this line, on line 90:

if (right.GetChar(0) == wxT('/')) right = right.Mid(1);

That should be all you need to know about compiling with VC6, good luck! :o)
