If you generate an SDK with platform builder, then just install it on
the same machine, could you just skip the SDK, use the standard SDK,
and use lib and include paths to point into the platform directories to
get headers and libs?
The reason I ask is that so far we have had a lot of trouble
re-creating our 4.2 projects in the 5.0 IDE. It seems MS has removed a
lot of functionality in order to only support the command line. So far
there's been a learning curve (where are my menu options, where are my
settings), plus some apparent bugs (have to create an new empty .def
file if you rename the output), plus apparent compiler\tool differences
(3.0 and 4.2 could compile STLPort, but 5.0 seems to have some
problems... but eVC does not... even though apparently eVC with SP4 is
same compiler as PB 5.0).... so we were going to try just using eVC,
but then you have to create an SDK... this is an rather long extra step
it would be nice to do without if we just can "repoint" eVC at the
platform directories.
