Build problems with MS VC++ Express 2005

Hello

I’m having trouble building the ODBC driver on Windows with MS VC++ Express 2005.

I already visited the recent thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2007-06/msg00006.php

Unfortunately, the suggestions made by Mark Cave-Ayland don’t work for me ☹

I’ve done the following:

1. Modified my stock 8.2.4 PostgreSQL interface to include the dev stuff
2. Edited psqlodbc.rc to change: #include “afxres.h” to #include “mfc/afxres.h”
3. Copied C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\ssleay32MT.lib to C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\ssleay32.lib
4. Installed Microsoft VC++ 2005 Express (I’m cheap)
5. Installed Microsoft Windows SDK

When I try to build using VC++ IDE, I get a whole set of errors that say: cannot open "windows.h"

When I try to build using nmake (whether I use the shell that’s part of the windows SDK or VC++) I end up with an error that says cannot open "mfc/afxres.h" (prior to the editing of psqlodbc.rc I got an error that says cannot open "afxres.h").

Any suggestions ?
