I have received a number of different pieces of C code and their header files together with a number of .dll library files on which they depend. Together they form a C application.
I have MSVC++ version 6.
How do I take these pieces of code, incorporate them into MSVC++, and compile them to make an executable program?
(The C code was generated from Matlab compiling through the MSVC++ compiler).
create a new application (win32 or win32 console) use any options you want(no premade source however). When the workspace is open, select file, open, whatever c file you need. then when it's in the right pane, right click it and select add to project, and select the name of the current project. Do the same with the headers and other C files. Make sure that there is only one main function throughout the c files. As for the dll's, i think you can statically link to them when designing your project during creation (not sure how to do it with win32 console though). Good luck.
Do you have the import libraries for the DLL's?
In otherwords are you going to link the DLL's explicitly (at build time with the import libraries) or implicitly (as needed during runtime by getting the address of the functions)?
>>then when it's in the right pane, right click it and select add to project, and select the name of the current project.
I just use PROJECT->ADD TO PROJECT->FILES. Then you can select all the files in a folder or filter on type (ie .c, .h) and add all to the project in one go.
