I've decided to learn some C/C++ (I know the very basics but as Python has always been enough for my own projects I've been stuck with those rudimentary skills for years). As PN is both interesting and rather small project I'm trying to use it as some sort of a learning environment. I just need couple of answers first:
1. Installing Boost has far too many options to my taste (I'm using the Windows installer provided by 'boostpro computing'). Which of the compiled library variants are needed to compile PN? Which of them I should install?
2. Besides linking WTL and Boost is there anything special to do before trying to compile PN?
3. PN sources have some Visual Studio project files which are (if I'm correct) for older version than 2008. Does using VS2008 cause any issues because of that?
And please, don't expect much contributions from me in a long time - I'm sure I'll be challenged enough by merely getting the current sources compiled :)
