Building PDFium with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express

Update:
For the issue, fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file ‘afxres.h’
not just change “afxres.h” to <windows.h>, but use a better one,

#ifdef _MFC_VER
#include "afxres.h"
#else
#include <windows.h>
#endif

For the issue,core\src\fxge\fx_freetype\fxft2.5.01\src\type1\t1gload.c(287): error C2275: ‘FT_Data’ : illegal use of this type as an expression,
the reason is,

Your code cannot be compiled as C++ code. You’ll have to follow ‘C’ rules, a local variable declaration must appear before any statements in a function body.

so the solution we need put the declarations,

FT_Data glyph_data;
FT_Bool must_finish_decoder = FALSE;
#ifdef FT_CONFIG_OPTION_INCREMENTAL
FT_Bool glyph_data_loaded = 0;
#endif

before the statements,

font_offset.x = 0;
font_offset.y = 0;


Refer to PDFium Wiki Building PDFium,  I got all.sln, then open and compile it with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express, got this error,

1>fpdfsdk\src\fpdfsdkdll.rc(10): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file ‘afxres.h’.

After some research, got the answer,

This header is a part of the MFC Library. VS Express edition doesn’t contain MFC. If your project doesn’t use MFC you can safely replace afxres.h with windows.h in your fpdfsdkdll.rc.

after the change, successfully compile it.
