<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are working on Visual Studio 2008 COM project which has
IDL files and need MIDL to generate the .TLB and header and source files, and we
faced with 2 issues. We made changes from the attached patch and
the diff to 2.8.2 cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx and finally it works.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The purpose of this email is, see whether there is a better
solution or share what we have done with the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
