Leo: your fixes enabled ssphys to compile under cygwin (well I am getting a linker error at the end but i think its probably due to my boost libraries not completely installing properly). Thanks for that.
 
Toby:
I grabbed the ssphys.exe build that you linked to but am now having troubles running the vss2svn script.
Is it ok to run perl under cygwin or do i need activestate perl and to run it under a dos prompt?
 
Below displays my failed attempt to run vss2svn so I just wanted to check that I am doing it correctly.
I tried specifying "--ssphys D:\temp/ssphys.exe" and "--ssphys D:/temp/ssphys.exe" and all fail with the same error.

Hi guys,
 
I've been struggling to build vss2svn from the subversion repository.
 
I was unsure how it is supposed to be built so I tried to build it under cygwin.

Hello Paul,

The ssphys application and library is built using Visual Studio 2005, I believe. Work is also being done to port it to Linux.

However, if all you want to do is convert your repository, you should just grab the latest Win32 executable from <http://www.pumacode.org/download/vss2svn/ssphys/>. The ssphys tool will be called by the vss2svn.pl script in order to inspect the contents of the VSS archive.

To run the vss2svn.pl script itself, you need Perl plus a few modules. We will soon have a batch script to do this for you but in the meantime you can just use "ppm3" to install any missing Perl modules. Type "perl vss2svn.pl --help" and you'll probably get some errors about missing modules; just install them until it stops complaining.
