First time Visual Studio User. Using it out of necessity rather than preference since I'm working on an existing and extensive code base that uses that environment.
The solution compiles fine, my project which uses headers from that solution has a myriad of compiling errors that point to those very same headers that compiled fine before but now have 'local' and 'global' dependency problems, and by global I mean Windows things, like integer typefs etc.
I have no idea what is going on. Give me a Make file and a text editor and I'm happy. These IDEs are just overly complicated and in trying to make things simpler they succeed only in taking control from the user.
Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations on a good resource that touches on how Visual Studio (with MSVC++) handles compilation and linking. I fear until I learn what is going on behind the scenes I won't understand what I'm missing in my project.
Thank you!
