Building OpenCPN in Visual C++ 2008 Express - Errors

[steve314]

I've downloaded OpenCPN and want to build it under Windows. I followed the instructions on the OpenCPN website but when I try to compile the opencpn project I get, among other things, errors like this:

error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'const wxCharBuffer' to 'LPCWSTR'

It uses this wxWidgets library for developing cross-platform Windows applications, which I've installed, as described in the developers' guide. So I don't know why it doesn't build.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Steve
