Updated FrameMaker FDK documentation???

[_Charles_Vorndran_]

Is there an updated Winguide.pdf available for FDK8. I see that the "Whats_new_in_FDK8" PDF recommends the use of Visual C++ 2005 there is no further explanation on how to set that environment up. And since Visual C++ 2005 does not support Single Threaded applications as VS2003 did, I'm wondering how to ignore libcd.lib without incurring a ton of unresolved external symbol errors in my app.
Also, it would be great if all the developer doc was updated and made available via the FDK 8 installer. The latest doc set on the Adobe support site, shipping with the 1Feb2008 FDK installer applies to 7.2 and even 7.1, goes back to Sept 2007.
Thanks

I don't know if this will help exactly, but I got some help from Scott Prentice when I switched to VS 2003:<br /><br />Hi Rick...<br /><br />Here's what I've added to the code to compile FDK8 apps in VC7 (VS2003) ..<br /><br />// FDK8 required in VC7<br />#include <sys/types.h><br />#include <sys/stat.h><br />int _stat32( const char *path, struct _stat *buffer ) { return <br />_stat(path, buffer); }<br />int _wstat32( const wchar_t *path, struct _stat *buffer ) { return <br />_wstat(path, buffer); }<br />long _ftol( double );<br />long _ftol2_sse( double dblSource ) { return _ftol( dblSource ); }<br /><br />I'm successfully compiling with VC8 (VS2005 Standard) .. I don't know <br />about the "Express Edition". Note that if you want to build an <br />import/export client you must use VC8, but you can build regular clients <br />using older versions of the compiler.<br /><br />If you need more info, you might want to try the "frame_dev" Yahoo group.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />...scott<br /><br />Scott Prentice<br />Leximation, Inc.<br />www.leximation.com<br />+1.415.485.1892<br /><br />Rick Quatro wrote:<br />> According the FrameMaker 8 FDK Supplement, I can compile FDK 8 clients in <br />> Visual C++ 2003 (7.1).
