-   If you want to build DLLs, you have to either build them one by one in
-   proper order (jpeg, png, tiff, zlib, regex, expat, base, core, the rest
-   in any order) or to use wx_dll.dsw workspace which has correct dependencies.
-   Unfortunately, VC++ 6 (but not VC++ 7 and later) doesn't always respect the
-   dependencies among the projects so you may still get linking errors due to
-   wrong build order. If this happens, please just start the build again and
-   eventually all the libraries will be built.
+   If you want to build DLL configurations in wx.dsw project you unfortunately

+   base, net, odbc, core, gl, html, media, qa, adv, dbgrid, xrc, aui, richtext)
+   manually because VC6 doesn't always respect the correct build order.

+   dependencies to force the correct order (but, because of this, doesn't work
+   for the static libraries) or simply redo the build several times until all

    Win32 Debug using Build | Set Active Configuration..., and compile.
