Introduction
This guide is for software developers who might wish to build the TPP on their own system for building and testing modification to the code. TPP users do not have to build the system on their computer, and can simply use the pre-build Windows TPP installer.
This is a very rough guide, and the addition of more detail and/or screenshots would be welcome.
Why MSVC 2005?
- The TPP developer community is very small, and this is the software that we developed the TPP with. We simply don't have the resources to maintain various Visual Studio build systems.
- The raw-to-XML converters make extensive use of COM calls, which were not well supported in previous free versions of MSVC (see next point below.)
How about a free version?
Work is underway to get the TPP working with the (currently) free Visual Studio 2008 Express. This will take some time, but when it is ready, all of the developers have agreed to move to this build tool.
