MinGW? I'm coding VST plugins and I've had big problems trying to compile the neccesary SDK's with MinGW. I have no problem beleiving that it's a better compiler - I'm sure it is, but those of us depending on SDK's developed for microsoft compilers are kind of stuck with the toolkit. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I'd love to be wrong on this one :-)
:lol:
Unfortunatelly, I think you have absolutely right.
Yeah, it happened to me also in these days, that I got some VS libs, and from this reason I had to use the VC Toolkit. I don't know if it is possible to use MS VS libs with MinGW linker.
For example I made some WebCam capture program, and in the MinGW package the
vfw.h file does not contain all the WinAPI function interface (capCreateCaptureWindow for ex.), so I had to move to VCToolkit.
If you find out something to migrate libs and object files between VS and MinGW, please post here, I'm also curious.
Is WinDbg that one, which is included in the Platform SDK?
