[Opde-devel] Visual Studio: "Houston, we have a problem..."

[Joe T. <gea...@co...>]

Hi guys!

So, I've been working on trying to get the opde sources to build on 
MSVC++ (as Linux and GNU scare me :) but I'm running into quite a few 
problems, mostly regarding CRT library differences. I can easily fix the 
problems, but I have no idea how it would mess with the GNU/Linux 
builds. Two ideas I've had to deal with compatibility are: 1. Fork the 
source tree (bad), 2. Insert a ton of #ifdef's (tedious).

I'm currently installing the Cygwin environment to see if that helps, 
but quite frankly, I'm rather attached to Visual Studio and I am 
hesitant to abandon it.

If you could give me some ideas as what I should do, that'd be great.

Thanks,
Joe
