Re: structure of code and VC++ 5.0 IDE support
I have finally gotten everything to compile and link in the winfe directory using just the MSVC5 IDE. And the mozilla.exe I built
this way runs! I didn't think it was much slower than the makefile build. (Sometimes the IDE appears hung for a while, but this must
be normal.) The project files I've created are at:
ftp://ftp.primenet.com/users/s/shaffer/Mozilla/
Problems and limitations:
- only tried debug build
- put all the neccessary public .h files in a new directory I invented: ns\Common, just a temporary hack on my part
- put all the neccessary .lib files in a new directory: ns\Library, again just a temporary hack to get me started
- took out a couple of hard coded #include paths in the source
- had to define _DEBUG and DEBUG
- had to put the resultant mozilla.exe in the x86Dbg directory to test it
- relied on a previous standard debug makefile build to pick up several libs, and .objs not built using the IDE
- an IDE build is contrary to the overall project goals, and is just for learning purposes
Several problems have occurred getting all the files to compile and link, but if you are patient, and realize everthing happens for
a reason, you can work out all the problems. All the difficulties I've run into have been trivial.
