Title: Looking for alternative to VC++
Post by: WMCoolmon on January 18, 2004, 01:11:10 pm

I've heard some people talking about getting fs2_open to work with other compilers...has anyone had success on something other than Linux? It'd be nice if it supports MFC, since I want to use it with FRED. *Buh-duh-dummmm*

Nothing, except I don't have a copy at the moment and it costs about $110 to buy a copy of .NET :blah:. The first chance I'll have to look for cheaper alternatives (C++ 6) will be in a week or two, and I was pretty sure someone had gotten fs2_open working with a free compiler.

The only problem is that free compilers tends to create less optimized code when compiling, so you may want to get a good one anyways...

Yes... like gcc and it's win32 port, mingw32. :lol: :lol:

Doesnt matter as long as whoever makes the offical build uses VC++

What country do you live in WMCoolmon?
