Book claims CD has *.sln, or *.dsw files but it doesn't

Using a multi-platform freeware or shareware library entails more than just providing some source code. The CD ROM accompanying the book contains no Microsoft solution or project files, and no make files for Linux, or MAC for the examples in the book. In fact the CD contains no build files of any kind for any operating system for the chapter examples (the WxWidgets distribution included with the book DOES have them, but you will want to download the newer version anyway)! Since the point of the book is Cross-Platform GUI programming, the build files are essential for a complete understanding of the process. To add insult to injury, the book does not discuss the build process beyond what is in Appendix A, and the information in that appendix assumes the CD ROM has the build files. The errata list for this book is quite large. The FAQ's for the book don't mention the build files.
