Visual C++ 6

Does the Visual C++ 2005 wiki page work for Visual C++ version 6?

I've not tried it yet (not had chance), however, since there are usually differences between the MSVCPP versions I'd thought I'd ask first.

I know VC6 doesn't have as good options for dealing with projects that it's not going to compile itself, so it might not work.

VC2005 is a free download from Microsoft site though, so why not just use that? You can have them both installed at the same time if you need VC6 to maintain older projects.

ok, sorry to be snobby but i think i'll just use 2005 for gp2x and stick to vc 6 for other projects

Hey, if your used to vc6 for windows projects and stuff, then I can realise it can take quite a while to upgrade to 2005 as there is a lot that has changed. It got me really confused for a while.

 

[namco]

either that or i'll just download the gcc compiler/use the linux partition on my harddrive (not spent enough time on that side of things anyway )

The VC++2005 guide won't help you with VC6, but you can create a makefile project in VC6.

actually, if anyone could tell me how to make a makefile (in windows) I'd be greatful.
