[XviD-devel] Found an issue and solution to compiling currentCVS on VS .NET.

[Joe Millenbach]

Using current version of NASM
"NASM version 0.98.36 compiled on Mar 13 2003"

And yes I saw that thread, but the issue for me was that it seemed like NASM 
itself didn't accept a quoted -I parameter (don't have another OS to try on 
to see if it's just on XP).  The source file's name wasn't quoted in the 
custom build step, so I'd assume it'd still choke if there was a space in 
the name.

There are additional optimization options that could be set for vc7, but I'm 
not sure of the impact (if it's worth it or not).  Basically I just try to 
open the vc6 files and it says I have to convert them to view them (so not a 
lot of work).  There are a few options I'd set differently for the projects 
(assuming the created code still works correctly), like one of the 
optimization options, if enabled, can't have precompiled headers turned on 
too (which should be fine as there aren't any being used, but the option 
seems to be turned on anyway).

VC7 doesn't seem slower to me, but I didn't use VC6 a whole lot either...And 
yes, it does appear to need Windows 2000 or higher (in the NT tree--so XP or 
.NET Server).

Another issue is the directory for the DirectShow library is in a different 
location for the DX9 SDK than the instructions say to use (now it's in 
C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses).

I'll experiment a bit with the new optimizations in VC7 and make sure they 
don't break anything, but either way I still don't understand why one option 
was in quotes (and that it doesn't work for me) and the other wasn't.  Would 
think all pathes should be quoted, or none.
