    Question Incorporating C code into MSVC++ compiler

    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).

    This is more of a question for the Windows programming board. Not all of us are using Microsoft.

    My guess is that you create a Win32 project workspace. In file manager view select the folders corresponding to source files (cpp files) and header files (.h files) and copy the contents into those folders. As far as the dll goes, I believe that the types and functions need to be exported to the source files, especially the point of entry main.cpp, however I don't know for sure. I'm using Linux gcc.
