Have been using VisualStudio ( 6 & 8) for several years. I am
not satisfied with the stuff that comes out of MSFT.
I have tried for several years (occassionally) to get into a
different area -- and I have not discovered the secret to beginning. At
present I have Boost; gcc compiler; cygwin; gimp; STAF; STAX; VS6; and VS8;
in the hdd that runs WinXP. I am unable to find a place to start any of
the programs, projects, or whatever, except the VS6 and VS8. I have the
manuals from gcc. Hundreds of pages, many not be relevant. And nowhere
does it tell how to institute any of the programs.
For example: How do you get the gcc-4.1.2 to do anything?
Is there a program editor here anywhere? If so how do you call it up?
(Other than the VS6 or 8)
How do I get any of this stuff to work together with any of the other stuff?
Basically I have a workable program that XP will not run. Is there a way
to move all the files from the VS6 and rework it somewhere else? Bear in
mind that the program I have involves some 40 odd files.
Can anyone give me anything that will help -- even the way to institute any
of these outfits. I can probably figure how to make the program work if
there is a starting place.
Thanks,
Bob
