Visual C++ Toolkit 2003
This is a free download from Microsoft, and is the same compiler and linker as Visual Studio 2003. Note, you must have Windows XP in order to install the toolkit.
Downloads
- Install the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 from the Microsoft web site.
- Install the Windows Platform SDK from the Microsoft web site. You can take any of the 3 versions available.
- Install the Code::Blocks (alternative download site on Sourceforge). You can take the full version or the core only, since we will use the VS 2003 TK.
Configuring Code::Blocks
- Run CodeBlocks. The first time you install it, you will be listed with a set of compilers. Select Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit, and click Set As Default.
- For configuration you have to include the location of the Windows Platform SDK. Go to Settings -> Compiler in the menu. Click the Directories tab. Add the directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\bin" to the Resource Compiler tab.
Compiling with Code::Blocks and Visual C++ Toolkit
Once you have checked out the vegastrike and vega-vc7 modules from CVS, import the vegastrike.sln file, found in the vega-vc7 directory into Code::Blocks using Project->Import-> in the menu.
