MSVC 2005

Hi!

I'm trying to collect some experience with building KDE using MSVC and I 
fail so far, so I wonder if someone can help. I can build kdelibs using 
"NMake Makefiles" just fine, but it doesn't want to work at all if I create 
VS 2005 Project files.

The main problem seems to me, that the .moc files generated are 
automatically added to the project while compiling so later VC tries to 
compile them on their own - which fails miserably for most of them (and if 
it succeeds it will get duplicated symbols).

Is that a known problem?

Greetings, Stephan
P.S. This is my first mail using Outlook Express, I hope it works out :)
P.P.S. My main goal is to get a release of kpat for windows as a christmas 
present, so there is some time left to fix.
