Visual c++ 6.0 settings / options to compile ultravncviewer

[teacherwilli]

Hallo,

can someone write down the typical settings / options in MSVC++ 6.0 to compile ultra-vncviewer?

[Rudi De Vos]

The viewer comes with the project files...
Project files contain the options we use for compiling

Many thanks!

I applied all available service packs to my anchient Visual C++ 6.0 and found that UltraVNC did not compile. It seems to require some sort of Windows header file update. I also tried building using Visual Studio .net and Visual Studio .net 2003 but these builds also failed. What is the key in order to get UltraVNC to compile?

The RealVNC server compiles with all three of these compilers.

Does using a newer compiler than VC++ 6.0 cause problems for Windows '98? What is the reason that such an old compiler is being used?

[Rudi De Vos]

We only had a license for vc6.0.
But now we have one for VS2005, we possible upgrade to that version.

There is indeed some advantage for old OS.
When you remove the SDK from the include path, you easy can check
if the older versions support the used functions.

What compiler and servicepacks... have I to use to compile the newest ultravnc-version 1.0.4 RC16 ?
Do you use now VS2005?
Because with Visualc++6.0 I´m not able to compile the project without errors.


OK, I found it:

VS2005 and VS2008 compile with the default install.
(SDK are now part of VS install and part of MS update)

Both project files are in the src zip.
