Microsoft Visual C++ 

For use with Root v 2.23/9 or later, version 6 is required.

Set the following defaults under the "Tools" menu, and configure the 
compiler rather than the project.
  Tools -> Options -> Directories -> "Show directories for">

      Include files:   add c:\Program Files\root\include
                           c:\nivxi\include
                           c:\sctdaq\include

      Executable files:    c:\Program Files\root\bin
                           c:\sctdaq\bin
                 
      Library files:       c:\Program Files\root\lib
                           c:\nivxi\win32\msc
                           c:\sctdaq\lib

It may sometimes be necessary to update the ROOT libraries specified in a project,
for example, if the ROOT team changes their organisation.  It is simplest to delete 
all the ROOT libraries, and right-click in the FileView window
to add them again from the local c:\root\lib directory. In fact
only the following files appear to be needed:

      Root_WIN32.lib
      Root_Core.lib
      Root_Hist.lib
      Root_Rint.lib
      Root_Cint.lib
      Root_Minuit.lib (not needed yet, but will be soon!)

Also, the preprocessor directives should include:

    WINNT,VXINT,WIN32


----------------------------------------------

Then it is necessary to build all the subprojects.   Peter has
grouped them to make batch building possible.  There are really
two separate groups of libraries, stlib and stdll:

 - First:  open stlib.dsw and do a "Build" "Batch build" of all
the Debug libraries.

 - Second:  Use Explorer to find the file sctdaq/stdll/Makedict.bat
and execute it - it runs a Root dictionary generator, and you should
see two brief lines of output.

 - Third: open stdll.dsw and build stdll.dll.


----------------------------------------------

The CVS version of SCTDAQ now includes dependencies such that
all test programs are buoilt _after_ the component libraries.
All debug programs now compile using batch build without errors.
Most of the errors you describe relate to teh release versions.
DO NOT BUILD THE RELEASE VERSIONS.
