After I figured that one out, and sorted a few BISON paths etc. everything now compiles perfectly inside VS2010! And there was much rejoicing :)

What were you trying to build. viewer-development shouldn't cause that
error.  You will run into that error trying to build the 3p-* libraries,
as it uses a couple functions still coded to use devenv :-( This is only
a problem for Express users as the Pro and higher version include
devenv.com.

On #opensl, we've been using autobuild for several weeks now. Please
feel free to come ask for help and use our experience with it ;-)

> Well, I'll just stick to building inside VS2010 for now :) I even got a setup.exe (not with that name though) - I never got that with VS2005 since it always failed somewhere before that (after generating secondlife-bin.exe though, lucky me).
