RE: Compiling Nmap 4.20ALPHA5 on windows xp with VS .net 2005

Ok, but then the question becomes why I'm getting that error if I have a
version even higher than the professional which is the team suite.

And I agree, I think we should remove a dependancy  on these files.

Take care,
Sina

The express version of VC++ does not include any supporting MFC files and
libraries which appears to be referenced here.  Both files mfc/winres.h and
afxres.h imply some sort of MFC dependency.

It might be possible to get the files required by nmap by downloading an
older MS Platform development kit.  But I would consider this a bandaid fix
on the problem.

The professional version, from my understanding does include these files.  I
think in the case of professional, they are doing it just for legacy support
and the big push is to steer people away from MFC.  The best solution would
be to identify why there is a dependency for this file and recode (probably
something fairly minimal) so that it is no longer needed.

I was able to build the latest nmap source using VC++ express but it is only
because I also have VC++ 6.0 which has the needed MFC files that I can point
to in express.  Even at that, some of my old MFC based applications will not
build using this method.  And believe me, I tried for several days.
