And tangentially, I have been corrected out-of-thread on my dates; VC++6 came out summer of 1998 so it was contemporary to the standard. Allow me to refine my statement by saying that no vendor's C++ implementation was standards-compliant with C++98 for several years and Microsoft's is not special in that regard; the only thing remarkable about it is that people are still trying to use it. If you were still trying to use g++ 2.8.1 today, you'd probably get laughed out of the development community unless you have a REALLY good reason. (That said, there are still a number of companies using the contemporary Borland C++ compiler too...) /s/ Adam ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
Re: [Qt-creator] 1.30beta - Cmake + Visual Studio 6
Off-topic but what I find even more troubling is that so many companies STILL use Visual Source Safe 6 (and pay for it no less!) simply because it's what they're used to. That atrocious product should be banned!

Re: [Qt-creator] 1.30beta - Cmake + Visual Studio 6
VC++6 has a bunch of quite atrocious limitations; it was released before the C++98 spec was finalized and thus gets a bunch of stuff wrong. (Example: VC++6 has no support for templated member functions.) Qt had to hack around those limitations for a long time and official support was finally dropped a while back. You should still be able to coerce it into working if you put some effort into it but you won't get any official support for it. (That said, you MIGHT be able to get community support for it from #qt or the qt-interest ML.) /s/ Adam On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 2:50 PM, Hari Sundar wrote: > Hi, > > Why is Visual Studio 6 support missing ?

Re: [Qt-creator] 1.30beta - Cmake + Visual Studio 6
I'm amazed that such an awful IDE is still in use. Awful interface, terrible non-standard compiler. Adding support for such things only encourages their continued use. Trust me on this, if you code base is worth maintaining, port it to something better. On 28 Oct 2009, at 19:50, Hari Sundar wrote: > Hi, > > Why is Visual Studio 6 support missing ?

[Qt-creator] 1.30beta - Cmake + Visual Studio 6
Hi, Why is Visual Studio 6 support missing ? Cmake does support Visual Studio 6, so why is it missing from Qt Creator ? I know it is an antiquated compiler, but I have some legacy projects that need to use VC6 and would prefer a better IDE (with FakeVIM) ... thanks, Hari ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator

Still there are several ways to get the content of the .chm and create a qt help file. http://www.russotto.net/chm/index.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help#Extracting_to_HTML The best way to go is probably using chmdump and build the qt help file using doxygen2qthelp: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/06/20/introducing-doxygen2qthelp-create-qch-files-from-doxygen-finally Note there is no need to run doxygen, as chmdump should give you all files needed.
