VC++ 6 woes

morgaine · **Posted:** Sun Mar 11, 2007 1:54 am

I'm provided with this engine thing written in VC6, which compiles fine under VC6 but gives a huge number of errors with newer versions of compilers. I need to write a GUI which uses the engine, but GDI+ is not supported in VC++6. So I have the following options:

1. port the VC++6 code to Visual Studio 2005
2. tweak things and get GDI+ to work with VC++6
3. use the old GDI API (which I don't know how to use)

Any suggestions on which way may be easier? thanks!

Move it to VS 2005 or gcc. VC++ 6 has notoriously bad library support.

thanks for the reply md.
haha I've decided to cheat: I'm making the engine dump data to a text file and just query that from my program.
