Richard,

I use VIsual Studio 2012 Ultimate. I think it is the most complete one. I get it free thanks to the University

[

In fact students get all the Microsoft products for free, including Windows, Windows servers, Visual Studio, etc:

Hi Antonio,

Trying to compile tutor02.prg in vs2012 as you written above.

I could not find the Comctl32.lib, MSImg32.lib, OleDbg.lib and Version.lib.

I got this error and can not build prg.



Any help?

Thanks

Hakan,

Those libs are here:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\

Remove the (x86) is you are using a Windows 32 bits.

In the VS2012 project properties select not to use precompiled headers

Antonio,

Is it possible to zip tutor02 project files and send me?

Thanks.

Hakan,

Here you have it:

A picture is worth a thousands words

Thank you Antonio,

I have achieved to compile and run it. Is it faster than normal compile?

Hakan,

All C compilers (and makes) are quite similar so its not a matter of speed, it is more a matter of using Microsoft tools, that it is something that each developer/company may assess in a different way.

Microsoft C provides a great low level debugger, which it is something very usefull on some (rare) ocassions, for example we can visually trace Harbour activity, how it boots, etc. It also includes a great low level profiler. These are very good tools that we don't have with Borland C (in fact, its getting harder to get the C compiler from Borland, as they don't allow redistribution of their free files, etc).

And though I admit that gcc is a great tool, the fact that we have to install MinGW, and change many things related to the way we are used to work makes me think its a clever desition to use Microsoft Visual C, that we can easily get for free (express version) from Microsoft.

Hello Antonio ,

great job

works with VS 2010 too

Maurizio,

thanks for the feedback

Antonio,

Is it posible to build applications with VS2012 or MSVC2012 using the build.bat file?.

Thanks
