'resource.h' rings a bell. If the MSVC project files contain any resources and 
you use MSVC to edit them, it has an annoying habit to create this file 
(empty or default content) and then include it into one of the resource 
files. Of course, it doesn't automatically add this file to the version 
control system, which in turn f***s up builds for others. You could try to 
simply remove the line that includes it and also remove it from the project 
if it is registered there.

Another thing that causes problems with MS Windows builds is that (at least 
for SigC++ 1) some files were actually shipped as foo.h.m4 or foo.h.in and 
needed to be converted using the M4 macro processor. I'm not sure if that is 
still the case for the current version 2 though, but keep your eyes open for 
that.
