Are there any restrictions on how I use the Visual C++ Toolkit? In general, no. You may use the Toolkit to build C++ -based applications, and you may redistribute those applications. Please read the End User License Agreement (EULA), included with the Toolkit, for complete details. i think it is posible to redistribute too Wow! My Cygwin/MinGW have been failing for about 2 weeks now but my VS.net builds at work have been fine so this is great for me as I can't afford VS.net.
Hats off to MS (no doubt someone will have something to say about this). That's cool
![]() But, I think it's just something they're releaseing because of their upcomming Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (they dropped the .net part) Also... ADUK It's Athlon not Athalon ![]() If you notice this notice you may notice that this notice is not worth noticing.
Does this version support optimisations?
Are there any beginners guides to using this to compile Firefox? Isn't it ironic that people will be using a free MS product to compile a competing open source browser with it ![]()

I suppose, but whatever works, works. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
SuSE Linux 9.2, Kernel 2.6.8, KDE 3.3.2
Yeah I totally agree, I just found it to be a little funny. Btw, thanks for the answers.
What's the error that you've been seeing in your mingw builds? We've had several tinderbox builds up for a couple of weeks now and they've been green most of the time. Yes !
So I can try to make pentium 4 MSVC++ based build now ! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees ;o) /me is jumping around of fun ! ;o) MozJF
Oh bugger. Before my Athalon I used to have a pentum and before that a 406. CLS was asking about the errors in my mingw builds. Well, it wasn't so much the build that was failing it was executing the executable. All sorts of errors and it would not run. It wouldn't even create the profile folders. I tried all sorts of things (changing my .mozconfig, pull_all, clean install of everything) but nothing seemed to work. Incidently, looks as though I need a shed load of additional header files to build FireFox. These could well be included in Cygwin. I'll have to do some searching. Cheers everyone. Note : It is unuseful.
There is no midl.exe tool, so it cannot build any mozilla.org products :[ Back to my VC++ 6.0 + SP6 :[ MozJF
---THINGS YOU NEED IN ADDITION TO THE Visual C++ Toolkit--- Install the Core SDK from here (must be accessed from IE as ActiveX is used): Platform SDK (Core SDK) and then you'll find a surprise in <code>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin\</code> ![]() --- AFAIK, you also need ML.EXE. I got it from the masm32 package. --- Last edited by shill on April 17th, 2004, 5:54 pm, edited 7 times in total.

It's MS. There would have to be a catch somewhere ![]() Just tried to compile and getting the midl error too. :o(.
Never mind. I will try a mix of VS.net and the VCPP 2003 compiler at work on Monday as I would like to use the extra optimisation features of the 2003 version of CL.EXE. I may get to squeeze a few hundreds of a second off something. I naturally won't notice any difference but I will kid myself into thinking that it is faster and the hours I spend tinkering will be worthwhile ;o) This is my life. I tried out the VC Tools with the Microsoft SDK and I get an error when optimizing -G7...
fatal error C1048: unknown option '7' in '-G7' LIB : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed Any suggestions?
Hmm, I don't know, I'm using this optimization line and it's compiling fine (so far): <code>ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -Ox -G6 -GL -arch:SSE"</code> Last edited by shill on April 17th, 2004, 7:10 pm, edited 1 time in total.
