#218 Support for Visual C++ code

[Anonymous]

I would to see support for VC++ code. I have found
many good tutorials and source code that is for Visual
C++; such as, the Quake 2 source code. It would be
nice to compile it on Dev-C++ without worry of syntax
errors.

You can already import MSVC6 project files, but because of
teh default compiler being GCC you migth run into some
problems with MSVC code, because MSVC and GCC behave
different and are either more or less ISO/ANSI.
If you want to use MSVC in Dev-C++ you have to try to put it
in as a compiler set. I never tried it and I don't know how
difficult it is. AFAIK you get the Visual C Dev-Kit with teh
Visual Studio 2003 compiler (freely available at microsoft)
working in Dev-C++ within minutes. I haven't tried it, but a
pal did it.
