Visual C++ 2005 Express Generating Native Code

(1/2) > >>

dwmcqueen:
An earlier posting made it appear as though the Express edition compiler only does managed code, but this article indicates otherwise (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/FreeVS2005Win32.asp).  Is this correct?

Yes. It can generate native apps.

Maciek:
You'll need to install Platform SDK. There are plenty of tutorials on the net.

You do _not_ need the PSDK for Coding ISO-C++ but you'll need it when you use windows-Functions, DX, OGL and probably for most of the GUI-Frameworks, too.

Don't forget to change the linking of the std:: librarys to static as a so called redistributeable package is required otherweise to run your Programms on (pre Vista?) Windowses

dwmcqueen:
My point in asking was the wiki gives directions on Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit, but I assume that after installing Visual C++ 2005 Express, we basically have the same level compiler as we did with 2003 Toolkit, correct?  If so, should we create a wiki entry on using this newer compiler as well?
