Without more details, my only suggestion is to start small. Don't try to compile some big project until you are comfortable enough with the environment to be able to diagnose problems. VC++ operates on "Solutions" and "Projects". Pure gcc typically relies on makefiles. The two approaches are wholly incompatible (although a VC++ Project can be configured to compile a makefile). Tell us exactly what you have tried (preferably step-by-step) instead of the broad generalization of "well, I tried stuff and it didn't work." Being descriptive goes a long way to obtaining a solution to a problem. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
