SUMMARY
=======

Errors may occur if you attempt to compile the source code for the Tangram
application from the CD-ROM packaged with the Microsoft Press book "Inside COM."

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following corrections should be made before compiling the source code for
the Tangram application:

- Add a subdirectory called \Proxy to the \tangram\source\model\ directory.
  This directory should be left empty.

- In file \tangram\source\glwlrd\cgl-pal.cpp, line 108:

  Change: TRACE0
  To: "TRACE" (without the quotation marks)

  TRACE0 causes the compiler to use a Unicode-aware macro call "_T", but the
  file doesn't include the necessary header file for the macro.

- A release build of the final Tangram executable will fail because it attempts
  to use precompiled headers for files that aren't set up to use them.

  To avoid this error, disable precompiled headers for the entire Release build
  of the Tangram executable. To do this in Microsoft Visual C++, follow these
  steps:

  1. On the Developer Studio's Project menu, click Settings.

  2. In the dialog box that appears, click Tangram in the left pane and select
     Win32 Release from the Settings For list above it.

  3. Click the C/C++ tab on the right, and select Precompiled Headers from the
     Category list.

  4. Click to select the button for Not Using Precompiled Headers.
