How to build Crow with MSVC 8.0
Next steps assume that instructions in README.msvc in GuiLoader/C++ package are already followed.
- Crow compilation requires several libraries to be configured in boostxy_z\tools\build\v2\site-config.jam file. They are:
gtk+ - GTK+ toolkit guiloader - alias for GuiLoader library project gtk+-c++ - gtkmm wrapper guiloader-c++ - alias for GuiLoader/C++ wrapper project desktop - Win32 libraries that provide registry and shell API's
Here is a sample site-config.jam file:

import project ;
project.initialize $(__name__) ;
project site-config ;
alias gtk+ : : : :

2. Release version of Crow could be built now with "bjam" command executed in a command prompt window from the toplevel distribution directory 'crow-x.y.z'.
PATH environment variable needs to be updated to point to crow.dll directory before Crow Designer can run. Alternatively crow.dll may be copied to the directory containing crow.exe or to the system directory.
