Trying to build a m33 (-based CWS) on Windows, with cygwin, and Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005, configure yields the following error: can't find /cygdrive/C/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/../SDK/v2.0 /Bin/msvcp80.dll at ./oowintool line 283. configure: error: oowintool failed to copy CRT Well, sure, msvcp80.dll is not part of the SDK, but they are pre-requisites to be copied into $SRC_ROOT/external/msvcp80. In a previous version (m30), configure went fine with exactly the same setup.
Problem is really old and current Windows builds are fine.
