OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
I'm starting to understand c++. However, c++ doesn't understand the Directx SDK samples I downloaded.

Re: OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
Ok. Which examples, from which Version of DirectX, and what is MSVC6 saying to you about them?

Re: OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
This one
The c++ samples.
And it's not recognizing the makefile or the .vcproj file when I try to open a workspace. See you guys monday. (Don't go on the internet sunday...And look at the forum time).

Re: OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
Any newer examples are likely build for MSVC 7, which may not have a compatible Workspace (DSW) format. Try opening the Project file (DSP) or the VCPROJ file directly.
VC7 also uses yet another file type called a "Solution" file (SOL). If there is no SOL file for the example you're looking at, then it probably is an old example which should load in VC6, so I that case something else would be causing the problem.

Re: OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
VC7 solutions are *.sln, not *.sol, BTW...
(insert random plug for C# here  )

Re: OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
Do you have the DX SDK installed? Do you have your compiler set up to include the DX stuff at compile time?

Re: OT: MS C++ 6.0 help
Meh, who wants to use C++ when there are easier Languages around? Python, java. I remember when i used to program in c++. Now i can concentrate on ideas instead of language syntax stuff.

Because those Languages create relatively slow programs, thus they are not sufficient when speed is required. |

Java? Easy? Sure, most of the time...
