| Visual Studio Express and the Platform SDK |
|
You can do quite a bit with Visual Studio Express Edition and the Platform SDK. But I've learned that there is a few things to be aware. It seems that much code will have an easier time to compile correctly if you set the Platform SDK include and lib directories before the ones from the VS installation (I am, obviously, talking about compiling C++ code). The Platform SDK contains most of the code for MFC and the ATL but they are in a different locations, so you also have to adjust these paths.
The Upgrade Wizard will set a switch for wchar_t being treated as a default type,
and this might make the linker complains. If you notice that all the linker errors
involve an argument with a wchar_t, then you can disable this switch and get a succesfull
build (I've wasted the better part of an afternoon on this one; yes linker errors!!!). Bookmark it...             |
