Installing poco library

im trying to install the poco library for visual c++ 2008 but when I type this command

buildwin.cmd 90

I get the following error

"'devenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

The readme file says there is an alternate way to install poco from visual studio itself but i don't quite know how to do that either.

any pointers what the problem is?

+2 A:

Sounds like your shell environment doesn't have all the needed paths. Have you tried using the VS Command Prompt? If not,just click the link in the Start Menu VS entry that opens cmd.exe with some additional environmental setup.

I tried it in the visual studio command prompt but got the following "debug_sharedreleased_shareddebug_staticrelease_staticFINDSTR: Cannot open componentsFINDSTR: Cannot open components"

You can build the projects by opening the solution files in Visual Studio and build them from there.

Thanks a lot, your suggestion worked, I now have everything installed but when i run a program it says dll missing, I have set the paths for my include and lib files in the tools->options->vc++ directories,could you tell me what I need to do to make VS know how to find the dll's? i know the dll's folder location.

When loading DLLs I usually add the dir containing the dll files to my system or user PATH variable. However, for Poco I always link statically.

I added the folder to my path and it now works, Thanks again.
