Using Platform SDK with C::B

[Conan Kudo]

I just got started using Code::Blocks and wanted to know if I can combine the Platform SDK with the VC2003 Toolkit so that I can compile ATL/MFC programs, etc... Has anyone done this before? Does it work? Does it cause other problems?

Regarding ATL I am not sure, but concerning MFC look at here:

Why you would use MFC that is sooo old and M$ only I have no clue. I would use wxWidgets.

If you really must use MFC try this link. I think the license says private use only though..... Which isn't too much of a surprise.  :lol:

It is not illegal as long as you do not modify the files itself
It turns out that VC2003 compiler works with it as long as I add MFC to root searches

It is not just a matter of modify the files, but also of e.g., distribution. Aynway, I would read carefully the license before.
