From CVS checkin comment:
“HTDJ is now VS 7 compatible. This means we start using the VS 7 ( VS .net 2003 ) compiler from now on – I do NOT want to have to deal with keeping it compatible with VC 6. Boost here we come!”
A hyper-quick CliffNotes summary of X for those new to linux: The X Window System is the foundation of the GUI of modern Unices. The best part: it allows you to escape the graphical prison of a M$ Windoze(TM) operating system by running an “X Server”. The X server can display your X windows from a remote linux machine on the local machine instead (even if it’s a Windoze(TM) box). With a smart Winblows(TM) SSH client like
There are literally TONS of X servers for Windumbs(TM). However, I think I just found the best.
Then open your Cygwin shell and type “startxwin.sh”.
As a final note, I’m having a lot of luck with the newer X.org flavor of X. It’s running on my Gentoo box, my Fedora box, and the Cygwin on this laptop. All the goodies, none of the crankiness, of XFree86. :>
Life just doesn’t get any better under Windoesn’t(TM).
Actually this is a good thing, I’ve seen lots of good Visual Studio C++ info from these guys:
Mebbe even worth monitoring the RSS feeds, time will tell. Cool.
Got Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 with my MSDN subscription recently. Anyone can get a “hobbyist” version here (now everyone, all together, say “thank you open source” for forcing M$’s hand on that).
It looks nice, has a C++ configuration available for selection on the first-time run that has been fairly comfortable for me.
UPDATE: OK, I’m switching, this looks good and the VC++ 6 compiler has got to go. Read on for the details…
‘NUTHA UPDATE: I’ve seen blogs ranting about the class diagram functionality, which can operate in both directions, letting you add to the actual code by adding to the diagram, and vice versa… but generating one is not obvious. Hopefully not just hyped fanboy blogging… ’cause we’re WAY overdue for something like that… everyone knows the Rose Stinks… 😛
‘NUTHA UPDATE: It’s simple, just select Solution Explorer->YourC++Project->Add->New Item->Visual C++->Class Diagram (!). Give it a name and start dragging in classes. You can have more than one diagram in a project. OK, I have to say, I’m all about this, nice.
I attended the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 / Visual Studio .net 2003 Launch event (hey it was right next door, and it was free!). Mostly marketing hype, but the last session covered some great features in VC++ 2003:
Time to break it out…
