Whenever I try to compile POV-Ray 3.5 with Microsoft's VC7 compiler,
everything works fine except for "error MIDL2035 : constant expression
expected". I'm getting this fatal error four times in codemax's "edit.idl",
lines 2506, 2507, 2513 and 2514:

[
 propput,
 id(DISPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 1ST TIME
 helpcontext(HELPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 2ND TIME
 helpstring("Language keyword case fixup on-the-fly (on/off)")
]
HRESULT NormalizeCase([in]VARIANT_BOOL bVal);
[
 propget,
 id(DISPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 3RD TIME
 helpcontext(HELPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 4TH TIME
 helpstring("Language keyword case fixup on-the-fly (on/off)")
]
HRESULT NormalizeCase([out, retval]VARIANT_BOOL *pbVal);

Hope someone could help me out  :-)

N.B. I've posted this question earlier at p.p but maybe there are some
hardcore coders that don't read there  :-P

I have VC6 and compile with no problems but it seems that
DISPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE and HELPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE are not defined in
cmidlids.h

Why not? This is weird, why does this give errors here while it compile fine
at your place? What should those ID values be then?

Oh well..... never mind. I'll try to compile this all with another compiler,
maybe Borland's or vc6. :-(

I have successfully built povray without any problems in VC7.  See my post
under povray.programming for details.  If you still have any problems send
me an email since I wrote a quick reply without checking my facts.
