The section on "Building on Windows using MSVC" (http://www.w3.org/INSTALL.html) is brief (I should say, too brief for poor old me)....and it doesn't mention that you need the regex library nor about the xml parser. On recommendation from Shane, I commented out the regex library from the config.h file.....the regex error has gone.....but seems newer ones have arisen! In a last-but-not-least attempt I am in the process of downloading the entire fully functional libwww directory from ftp.idm.ru/libwww and then try building once more. Let's see how that goes. Thanks for all your help. >>> <mariuss@airg.ro> 9/2/2003 9:46:48 AM >>> If I remember right, on msvc6.0 you need some additional libraries that are not found in the distribution. One of them is the regex library. I used the regex from gnu but tried the regex from boost also and it worked. The same is right for zip library, xml parser. I think there is a link, starting from wwwlib page, that explain the process of compiling the library on windows/msvc. It worked for me but some months ago. My approach was to get all the libraries from that list and recompile them on windows, from sources. It took some time (4-8 hours) but the result was fine. If you have other problems please let me know and I'll try to help as much as possible. Marius.

I got found the wwwsys.h file....added it in the path and the error is now gone, but right after, it's missing regex.h. This time I can't seem to locate that file anywhere on my system. There must be a better way to do this.....am I missing files? I downloaded the full distribution from the website.... Help...... -Rashid.
