New Post: Problem: Compiling the REST SDK on XP with VS2010

Hi casablancanoob:

Thanks for your problems. Unfortunately, we do not support building our REST project on XP machine and the targeting XP binaries supports vs2012 only.
You need to install vs2012 with update3, set the platform toolset v110_xp, link the cpprest_xp_1_3.lib and use the cpprest110_xp_1_3.dll to build your targeting XP projects.

For your first problem "the instructions state that 'the Windows Phone 8 SDK installed", you do not need to install Windows Phone 8 SDK since you are using vs2010.

For your second problem, you are correct. The Release directory will be located in 'cd Cpp-REST-SDK/NameOfFolder/Release'; we will update the instructions.


For your building errors:

1. error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__WinHttpSetOption: Since you are building on XP and we never build the project on XP machines, I guess possibly you need to install the winhttp 5.1 sdk.

2. Cannot open include file: 'afx.h': You need to install visual studio professional or above edition, the express edition does not provide any MFC/ATL support.
   
3. BlackJack_Client100\BlackJack_Client100.vcxproj" was not found: BlackJack sample does not support vs2010.
   

Thanks
