Error compiling project "subwcrew.exe"

[yokese]

Hi,

I tried to compile before with Visual Studio 2008, but the info in the web must be updated because de sln file is for Visual Studio 2010. Maybe you could update this information.

I'm trying now to compile the project with Visual Studio 2010 but I get this error:
....
PreBuildEvent:
"subwcrev.exe" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.

ERROR al compilar.

I'm more a Java developer and I'm lost with Visual Studio. Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks in advance.

SubWCRev is one of the command line tools installed with TortoiseSVN. It's used to insert the revision number of the working copy and build date into Version.h.tmpl.

Hi, thank you for your help.

After installing tortoise I've advanced a little with the compilation....

Command "subcrew.exe" is no more missing but now I get this error.

...

I think 'subcrew.exe' is trying to put the src directory in a new file 'Versionn.h' from 'Version.h.tmpl', but I don't know why this fail. I'm going to finally delete references to subcrew in compilation files and try to do what is suppposed to do manually.

If you know how to solve this without making changes manually to compilation files it would be better....

Finally i've compiled it deleting any reference to 'subwcrev' from Explorer++.vcproj. Then renaming Version.h and put some values for '$WCREV$' and '$WCNOW=%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S$'. I guess that if I had downloaded the project from subversion I hadn't had these problems but I don't get the point about the strict dependence in svn to compile the project only to put the version and compilation date....

Anyway now it works and I can start to debug some things
