I currently use bcc. I make my projects with xmate. It works well. Wish to start using msvc. I have no idea how to begin using msvc++ compiler. Here are some questions:
Thank you,
Reinaldo.
Dear Sarabjeet,
Please review this:

I would love to get something from you, at least something that we can use to continue your work. Please.
best regards,

Thank you. I'm not sure how much time I can dedicate to this, but I'll keep you posted of any progress.
Antonio /anyone else working with msvc:
I like the IDE and the source editor. I got .prgs + .c files to compile for one of my projects (the simplest one but still it contains over 70 .prg source files).
I now need to learn how to compile .rc files.
I need to implib a few .dlls into .lib. How do you do so with msvc?
I'd like to compile a few pure .c sources into a .lib. With bcc I would simply use the command line to compile .c files into .obj and then used the lib utility to create the .lib from these .objs. is there a way to do that with msvc?
I'm using msvc++ studio version 10, but I also have version 11, 12 and 13. Is there a particular version I should use?
Thank you,
Reinaldo.
Antonio and anyone who may have an answer;
Answers #1, #3, and #4; I understand. Thank you very much.
Answer #2... I'm still not getting it. So, suppose I want to create a msvc compatible .lib from ace32.dll, should I add ace32.dll to the project under libs an build it with a custom build using msvc lib.exe? Can you show how or point to another thread where this is being done? I think the reason this is confusing is because the sample you provide here is building .prgs into .c not .dll into .libs. I don't think we want to custom build a .lib from .dll using c:\harbour\bin\harbour... not will the output be .\%(filename).c
I'm sorry I didn't get #2.
Thank you,
Reinaldo.
Reinaldo,
First of all, we need to create the DEF file. Using Microsoft lib.exe you could do:
lib.exe /DEF:ace32.def ace32.dll
If the above fails, then use Borland impdef.exe as the DEFs are compatible and they are just ascii files:
impdef.exe ace32.def ace32.dll
Once you have the DEF file then use Microsoft lib.exe again:
lib.exe /DEF:ace32.DEF /OUT:ace32.lib
Antonio;
Perfect. All is good. Thank you very much.
I like VS IDE, even the source code editor. I hope Sarabjeet finds inspiration to continue his work. I'm still missing some features from Ultraedit but maybe it is only because I don't know enough. For example: with Ultraedit, the editor "guesses" what you are typing by looking at previous words written on that same file. I'm not talking about language reserved words alone, I mean, comments, variables etc... I find that very helpful and time-saving as you don't have to type every single letter before it knows what you are about to type and it finishes it for you. Most times I only have to type 1, 2 or 3 letters before hitting <enter> as the editor finishes the rest of the word/variable/command/statement for me.
Does anybody know if this is possible with VS source code editor?
Reinaldo.
