Antwort: Re: newbie question...

The section on "Building on Windows using MSVC"
(http://www.w3.org/INSTALL.html) is brief (I should say, too brief
for poor old me)....and it doesn't mention that you need the regex
library nor about the xml parser. On recommendation from Shane, I
commented out the regex library from the config.h file.....the regex
error has gone.....but seems newer ones have arisen! In a
last-but-not-least attempt I am in the process of downloading the entire
fully functional libwww directory from ftp.idm.ru/libwww and then try
building once more.

Let's see how that goes.

Thanks for all your help.

If I remember right, on msvc6.0 you need some additional libraries that

are not found in the distribution. One of them is the regex library. I

used the regex from gnu but tried the regex from boost also and it
worked. 
The same is right for zip library, xml parser. I think there is a link,

starting from wwwlib page, that explain the process of compiling the 
library on windows/msvc. It worked for me but some months ago. My
approach 
was to get all the libraries from that list and recompile them on
windows, 
from sources. It took some time (4-8 hours) but the result was fine.

If you have other problems please let me know and I'll try to help as
much 
as possible.

Thanks for the reply and you were right. I got found the wwwsys.h
file....added it in the path and the error is now gone, but right
after,
it's missing regex.h. This time I can't seem to locate that file
anywhere on my system. 

There must be a better way to do this.....am I missing files? I
downloaded the full distribution from the website....

Help......
