the problem with building an C++ project

[nanchuangyeyu]

Hi all,
I have been always using MS VC++6.0 in programming, but now I encounter some strange source code of a project in which all the C++ files are named with the postfix ".cc". When I try to compile it directly in VC, many errors just pop up.Any one can show me a solution?Thanx.

Please let me recommend that you go to microsoft and upload the new version of C++ . It is free, more reliable and easier to use as there are some new items and libs. I use this new C++ all the time. Much nicer than any previous versions. The code is color coded to match your source coding.

You can use all of the past programs in the newer version, but you cannot write new code and revert it back to the old version.

For your information to download it you can go to : http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/default.aspx

It will install almost automatically and about 20 minutes of your time, generally. This all depends how fast your computer is.

Enjoy it. I do and glad I did. I would never go back.
