General questions
johne53:
I've got some time today so I'll download the Windows version and give it a try. BTW, was MIGW a typo or is it an alternative version of MINGW - or are they both different products??
Also, is there ANY support for Microsoft compilers - even via MAKE ?

Typo sorry.

Yes, CB does support Microsoft compilers (using build systems should be possible).

Thanks again, raph.
Now this is going to sound like a dumb question - but if MS compiler is supported, why no support for MFC?
The whole of MFC is available as source code AFAIK... :?:
Also - why no 'confused' icon - lol :)

C::B can compile MFC based code provided appropriate compiler settings, libraries are used.
Charon:
Since you usually get MFC precompiled with the Microsoft Compiler, MINGW does not support it (this has something to do with ABI compatibility as long as i know, google can give you the proper answer).
Some sources on the net say that MFC *can* be compiled with MINGW (you get the sourcecode for it with the Microsoft Platform SDK), but the lincense forbids you to redistribute it.

I hope you know that MFC is Microsoft only and can't be used on Linux.
So you better go with wxWidgets.
Good Luck
