Hi All,
As this is a new free dev tool, I was wondering if it could be set up to be ansi C compliant or at least to the point where code would compile on both UNIX and windows systems with little if any modification. I know there are other ide's out there but the vs ide's are very user friendly, especially while learning standard lib functions and parameters etc.
Thanks for any hints or tips.
Mick.
There was a thread exactly like this within the past few days, a little search before your post would have been a good idea.
You can change what compiler Visual Studios uses to suit your standardized needs and keep the IDE you desire. Don't ask me how to do this, because I don't know. The person that replied in the other post, did, however.

If you program using only standard library functions, your code should be portable. You should be able to set up the -ansi flag some place in your code. Now then, you will have to code with c89 in mind, because c99 isn't supported by Visual Studios.

Curses, foiled again.

Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Thank you both for your replies.
Honestly I can't be bothered to do the search for you... however if I recall correctly, it didn't give much detail on how to do it anyway, merely the navigation to the appropriate option. You'll get better answers by googling something like "Visual Studios change compiler".
