VS 2005 Support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The supplied Visual Studio files are dependent on VS2008. It turns out 
that supporting VS2005 is quite easy. Attached are 3 files that allow yaml-
cpp being compiled also on VS2005

Attachments:

• yaml-reader.vcproj
• yamlcpp.sln
• yamlcpp.vcproj

Thank you. I'm not sure whether I want to add these, though, since the VS2008 
files
are only there as a legacy of before I started using CMake. You can always use 
CMake
to generate these VS files, for any version you like.

That being said, I understand that developing on Windows is very painful, and
anything that makes it easier (like pregenerated project files) is very useful.

Thanks for your interest, though!

Actually cmake building had a problem (at least with VS2005): It complained of 
not
finding yaml-cpp.lib. That is why I resorted to the "old" sln files.

PS - not a VS/Windows person myself.

Hmm.. ok, I'll check it out. I think I have VS2005 installed on an old machine, 
so
I'll give it a try.

Actually VS2008 can read project files up to VS6. So if you have plans to 
support
vcproj, it would be better to support some old vcproj format, because new 
versions of
visual studio can load them easily.

I download above three files but it compiles failed in vs2005. Could you help me
compile it in vs2003?  Thanks!

I use vspc.exe to convert. It works ok.

Use CMake from http://www.cmake.org/ and it will work for VS2005 since trunk 
r432 (and should be in the next release).
You can also use trunk's CMakeLists.txt with the 0.2.5 source, just fix the 
version number if necessary.

It also creates correct VS2003 project files (comment 6), but issue 89 is still 
left for VS2003 (so go there).

Now that the CMake build settings support Visual Studio better, I deleted the 
old Visual Studio solution and project files (since I was no longer updating 
them anyways). CMake all the way!
