Found the reason for the copy /y post build issue. the copy needed quotes around the directories I changed it to
xcopy /y /d "$(ProjectDir)......\lib\s130_nrf51_ble_driver.dll" "$(OutDir)" This was done by right clicking the project, selecting properties, then Build events, and finally Post-Build Event.

I believe the path for the vc++ was only for ml.exe as it wasn't in MinGW, also the folder for vc++ I included, didn't have any other compiler programs, that would have conflicted with make or gcc etc.

I have (since your suggestion) used the precompiled .dll files, and examples. these I got working, with minor tweaks using visual studio 2015 with minor tweaks. the copy /y doesn't seem to work, so I quickly copied the .dll and .lib files into the debug folder. will fix this later. and had to comment out the typedef char _Bool; as it seems it's already defined someplace.

Thank you for your direction, I didn't find this when I was previously doing my searches. maybe put in the readme.md file a pointer to the location of the compiled code.

@shannon I see from the error messages that the linker seems to have problems linking to the boost libraries. You also mention that you had to add a VC++ to path to build boost. I'm wondering, could it be that boost was built with VC++ compiler instead of MinGW gcc as described in the readme?

was not able to reproduce this today as I don't have a W10 setup here, but sounds like the readme may need an update.

Are you able to use the pre-compiled version of the driver available on our webpage here in the meantime?
