Hi,

I'm new to upp, and I almost gave it up after two days, because it wouldn't compile under MSC8 under WinXP...

...until I found a hacky work-around... ...In Core/Language/t.h, search for TFILE and just comment out the line like this:

// #include TFILE

or wrap it with an #ifndef:

#ifndef PLATFORM_WIN32
#include TFILE
#endif

Of course, this is ugly - but given the choice of not being able to compile at all and losing Localization support, I volunteer to take the lesser evil.

I hope some expert developers in upp can come up with a more graceful solution than this, but looking through the threads, I'm not the first one to notice this problem...
