Build CodeBlock using VC++

Is it possible to build codeblock using VC++.

Thanks,
Puneet

No, not yet.

I had tried to compile C::B with MSVC8. But C::B SDK fails to compile with MSVC8.

I wonder what happens if you try to compile MS VS with MinGW... ;-)
But honestly: C::B was designed to compile with GCC/MinGW and that's just it.
With regards, Morten.

I just tried C::B with the vs8 compiler profile, and the default console c++ "hello world" project compiled/linked fine.
Debugging looked like it was glitched, but after some tests, it was just that you need to set at least one breakpoint to actually be able to step the application (unlike VS)
