"Microsoft has made the command line toolkit for Visual C++ available for a free download. You can use the toolkit to build applications and redistribute them if you want (though you should read the EULA for the details, as always). This is a nice boon for those that have to deal with cross-platform compatibility, especially since Microsoft has tried to make Visual C++ more conformant to the ISO C++ standard. Go forth and compile your favorite OSS or FS programs today. icon_wink.gif"

Just posting, because from time to time there are questions which compiler to use for a MERVBot plugin.
This should be the 1st freeware compiler which is able to do that.

download@msdn [31,4 mb]

I'll test it on MERVBot.

I'm sure someone will make a free GUI wrapper for it shortly.

The compiler lacks "windows.h" and stuff...
After ripping the needed files from my vs.net install, I got it to compile the MERVBot default plugin.

Command I used to compile the plugin:
Code: Show/Hide
cl /LD spawn.cpp command.cpp

Its only the compiler. You can download Window's SDK somewhere off their site (google for it).

Yeah, I did...
I'd need the Platform SDK. But I'm to lazy to download, because it's so big.
And I have VS.net installed anyways, so I just copied the files from one include directory to another.

Catid asked me to write a short tutorial on how to compile plugins with that compiler... but because of that sdk missing...

Also, it's not that hard: cl /LD spawn.cpp command.cpp
You just need the necessary includes...

EDIT: You can get the Platform SDK at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/

Am I understanding this right, it'll compile it but into the .NET system? from what it seemed on MS's page. :/

Visual C++ can compile for multiple platforms, including the .NET Framework CLR.

It is a C/C++ compiler first, .NET compiler second.

Do you want to install and run SDKUpdate ActiveX Control? Anywhere you can get a .zip of the needed headers and stuff?

.NET Common Language Runtime, will that run SOS's map editor? Or is it even more bloatware? After reading this I'm not getting it.

VS .NET 2003, is that MSVC7 or what?
