Hello,
i am new to Code::Blocks so please be gentle :lol:
i have a vc++6 project (complex one) and would like to port it to code::blocks. i have imported .dsw file and there were one warning thrown saying failed to import *any* projects. this didnt make sense hence ignored it.
I select the default compiler and the debugger as settings-> Compiler and debugger settings -> Microsoft visual c++ 2005/2008. I can see all the files and and also c::b allows me to find definitions etc...
how ever when i try to build the project i get lots of errors!!!!! same project i can build vc++6 without any problems.

can somebody help me to figure out the problem.
thanks

Read and Follow: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F
Verify you are compiling an C++ file instead of C file.
Verify your Compiler is setup right using an Hello World type program.

Hi,
Yeah the problem was with the compiler settings.
I just followed
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Integrating_Microsoft_Visual_C_6_with_Code::Blocks_IDE
and most of the PROJECTS ARE BUILDING AND LINKING EXCEPT FOR one.
I have visually compared both VC++ project settings and C::B settings and both seems to be identical.
so now i need some help from you guys to find out how to see al the libs C::B using during linking process.
kind regards

Just found the way to do it..
so its in project options and linker settings and then given the libs.
If you turn on full commandline logging as recommended in the link Tim gave you, you can see the whole commandline C::B uses to invoke vc++.
There is no invisible magic besides this.
Hi,
I added the relevant libs via linker settings and bingo its building and linking.
now would like to know are there anyway that i can debug VC++6 project through code::blocks?
thanks
