free Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 download

Havn't tried it yet, just saw the news post on /. and grabed a copy.

I believe it contains all that is needed to compile the source code, but nothing to edit with... Plenty of free IDE's out there though :)

Be sure to read the EULA though and look for any nasty microsoft suprises.

Support member posting warez? ? ?

Sweet.

EDIT: Sorry I just clicked it, not warez, heh.

I seriously doubt you'll find warez on microsoft's devel page... I didn't even need to click the link to see that

Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 includes the core tools developers need to compile and link C++-based applications for Windows and the .NET Common Language Runtime:

Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler and Linker. These are the same compiler and linker that ship with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional!
C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library, including the Standard Template Library. These are the same static-link libraries included with Visual Studio.
Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime. Visual C++ can optionally build applications that target the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
Sample code. The toolkit includes four samples designed to showcase the powerful new features of the 2003 version, including new optimization capabilities, features to improve code-security and robustness, enhanced ISO C++ standards support, and the ability to use the .NET Framework library and target the CLR.

The Visual Net 2003 Toolkit only includes the command line tools, so you need 'Make' and Win32 Makefiles to compile it, rather than the .dsp/.dsw files that VS NET 2003 uses. I believe Visual C++ 6 has the ability to export Makefiles, but Microsoft removed this capability from VS NET 2003.

Unfortunately I only have VS NET, otherwise I would have posted the Makefiles. Perhaps someone wth Visual C++ 6 could give it a try.

It would be great if someone could post how to compile the files like in Merth's tutorial

Cause i, and perhaps other cant make shit out of the free compiler, whilst other can get along with it :?

Ne way, i hope someone will help us.. :oops:

I have Visual C++ 6 and its giving me a shit load of errors when i compile zone.exe so i will export the make files but i still don't know how to compile using the command prompt any info on what to do once i have the makefiles?

I don't understand too much about this stuff and therefore I don't know if this will be useful to anyone, but Visual Basic .NET is availible as NFR for free here:
