[sldev] Help compiling

[Andromeda Quonset]

Vector,

I have had several interruptions on this project, and finally giving 
it another try.

At the moment, I am attempting to "Do the build of the extra 
libraries (fmod, openjpeg, etc) into the separate tree.
I've come up against a problem with this, and trying to build 
openjpeg.  Basically, it won't build.  I am using the latest stable 
version, which is 1.3.
I am letting VS2005 convert the files, but the build is failing for a 
couple of reasons:  I get an error message that a file named 
resource.h cannot be found, and I get an error that a file generated 
by the compiler cannot be opened with a permission denied error.

I've had a few ideas about this:

1.  Download and use the Windows binaries
2.  Use the Unstable 2.0 release
3. Use the older 1.2 release.

The wiki just says to download the latest tar file of the source.

Anyone besides Vector can jump in and advise :)
