auto vs manual vc6 project files naming conflict

[Royce Mitchell III]

our "make -vs6 msvc" command generates dsp files automatically for all 
project in the tree.

At the moment, this is overwriting the following files:

    subsys/system/explorer/notifyhook/notifyhook.dsp
    subsys/system/ibrowser/ibrowser/ibrowser.dsp
    lib/opengl32/opengl32.dsp
    lib/cpl/ncpa/ncpa.dsp
    lib/cpl/control/control.dsp
    lib/cpl/appwiz/appwiz.dsp

Would anybody have a problem with it if I renamed all these dsp files 
out of the way, or would it be better if the auto-generated dsp files 
were named something like notifyhook_auto.dsp?

Thanks

[Casper Hornstrup]

Why not just delete them?

YES. Please remove the msvc files from the tree and just fix all the autogeneration.

Thanks

please don't remove the VC project files of Explorer, Winefile and
IBrowser. I am using them outside of the source tree, and they contain
information which is not (and will/can not) be autogenerated.

I figured this was the case Martin. Is it okay if I rename your dsp 
files so they don't get in the way of the auto-generated ones, or would 
you prefer I modify the auto-generated ones to have _auto in the name?

use a suffix. It's likely that we will import third party projects which 
already have their own .dsp files

Yes, I think also naming the generated files in a unique way would be
the best solution.

You should just tell us what kind of information they contain so that we 
can update the XML file. It will be perfectly auto-generated afterwards.

Well, I don't doubt you would be able to to so. But I think the effort
to implement such all the required features into the XML files and
rbuild isn't worth it. I will show you what "information" I thought
of:

- In the Explorer workspace the source files are organized into a
handfull of subfolders, e.g. "utility", "resources",
"taskbar", "doc",
...

- In the "doc" folder there are files which are not to be compiled -
text files like "changes.txt" merely for documentation purpouse.

- The work space contains more than one project file: Some in VC
internal format, some just calling external Makefiles - even a
Jamfile.

- The project file contains different configurations: Debug/Release
configurations, UNICODE/ANSI configurations. There is also a
configuration I am using to build Explorer together with Wine's
libraries, such as shell32.dll and comctl32.dll, and link to them
instead of Windows' DLLs.

- explorer.xml and the genersated ReactOS Makefiles define different
compiler options, like "-D_ROS_" and "-__WINDRES__", which my native
VC project files don't need.

    Martin
