Subject: VC 'library' builds with visual studio
Will it seems after VS 2003 MS has gone off at a tangent...
I was trying to get the Harnony project going on 2005/2008
... its impossible.
I think MS is pulling their C tools closer to .Net C# and the like.
... the problem I found which just causes millions of compiler errors and
warnings is
that effectively MS seem to have deprecated any null terminated functions,
probably
because that fits the VB model better.
I read the blog, that guy is having problems moving MS to MS... try port a
non MS
project to VS 2008... it hurts ;)
I've been hunting around trying to see if there is a good multiplatform C
dev environment, I
think now there is a huge need for one... or possibly a toolkit for 2008
that makes
the thing backward compatible, or something... its a problem.
VS is .Net contaminated ;)
I found this very interesting blog entry by Jim Beveridge about archiving
an object library (.lib, or .a for unix-heads) on various flavors of
Visual Studio 2005 and later...
http://qualapps.blogspot.com/2007/12/winsxs-breaks-old-debug-libraries.html
so anything we ship as a lib (which isn't a dynamic library) looks to be
next to useless once we adopt a modern version of VC.
