Thanks Jens.
If you are running on x64 Windows, read the whole thing before starting. :wink
If you want to use ml64.exe, it amounts to making a copy of ml64.exe in the same directory, named ml.exe.
They sure don't make it easy to produce native binaries with Express Versions of Visual Studio.
mitchi,
No, they sure don't. It took quite an effort to get it working and now they (Microsoft) want me to install Windows 7 RC, and I will have to do it all over again. :( I'm going to wait until July 1, when the beta starts shutting down, to install to the RC. I'm not sure I'll even mess with VC Express Edition, when Pelle's C is already set up and ready to go for x64.
Heh.
As a student, I can use some MS products like Visual Studio for free (of course I can't go commercial with them).
Instead of using Express Versions of Visual Studio, why don't you install a Visual Studio beta?
mitchi,
QuoteInstead of using Express Versions of Visual Studio, why don't you install a Visual Studio beta?
I was under the impression the VS 2010 beta was only available as a VM for Virtual PC, and therefore limited to 32-bit.
There is an installable version now :U
mitchi,
Thanks for the heads up. Here is the link for anyone else.
