I have just started learning more about C/C++ and I am using Visual Studio 2013 to manage the code.
A project I am working on to use the Tobii EyeX eye gaze system requires me to be able to tweak this code slightly, however I do not understand how I can compile this code to an exe file without a Microsoft Visual Studio project file. This is that code:
https://github.com/MastaLomaster/bkb
In the source folder you see all the project's files but not an actual project file. How would I go about compiling this code? Where do I start? I can not seem to be able to load this is Visual Studio at all - the programmer of the code says (at the bottom of the Github page):
Compiling the source codes As for now, you have to use Microsoft
Visual Studio 2012 (latest update preferred)...
Either create a makefile(if no makefile is exist) for visual studio using nmake or you can use the suggestion provided in this link.
Additionally you can create a project by adding these codes as source. follow this link.

I have a C++ project in Visual Studio and I much prefer Visual Studio Code for editing source files.
Is there a way to work with Visual Studio C++ projects in Visual Studio Code? Like getting include paths from ".sln" file or maybe even running MSBuild.
Open Developer Command Prompt/PowerShell for VS 2019. This will set necessary environment variables such as include paths.
Navigate to the directory of your project.
Type code . to start VS Code in your current directory.
Now, you will be able to use commands like cl, msbuild etc in the integrated terminal.
Happy coding.
I am trying to compile the TightVNC from the source code.
Here is my system details:
Windows 10
SDK 8.1
When i build the project it throw error about the folder or file not found. I try to install and include the files but it won't worked.
sidenote: I am not a C++ developer, i have to compile it from source code.
Thanks in advance.
The error
RC1015 can't open include file afxres.h
seems to generate from project because it requires the header file from MFC. As far as I understand, visual studio 2015 default setup does not install Visual C++ MFC package. Therefore you need to modify the Visual Studio 2015 setup and add the MFC.
Please close VS2015 and Go To
Control Panel->Programs and Features->
Microsoft Visual Studio <Professional/Enterprise>->
Change->Modify->Add Microsoft Foundation Classes
Then re-open visual studio 2015 and re-build the solution.
I recently did some cleaning of my drives. I decided to install visual studio 2017 after cleaning the drives up. I have been trying to continue work on my old UE4 project using the engine pulled from GitHub. I tried rebuilding the project with VS2017 which I know is not fully supported yet. I did run into quite a few problems, including the missing corecrt.h files. I reinstalled the Windows SDK to fix this.
The current problem is a new missing file called windows.h, and I believe it is missing due to the build tools looking for the wrong version of the SDK. I was wondering, has anyone else successfully integrated Visual Studio 2017 with their UE4 project after running into similar problems?
-- Edited due to poor grammar.
As I know Version 4.15 supports both Visual Studio 2015 (default) and Visual Studio 2017. If you are building the Engine from source code, you would want to open a command prompt after running Setup.bat and run the command GenerateProjectFiles.bat -2017. This will give you a Visual Studio 2017 solution for the Engine.
To use Visual Studio 2017 for projects, you can set your preference for which version projects use by going to Edit -> Editor Preferences -> General -> Source Code and choosing Visual Studio 2017 in the Source Code Editor setting.
If regenerating the Engine's VS project files doesn't help. Try regenerating your own UE4 project's VS project files.
With Visual Studio and UE4 closed, find the .uproject file, right click and select Generate Visual Studio project files.
Open the solution, make sure your UE4 game (e.g. MyProject) under the Games folder is set as the StartUp project (right click, Set as StartUp project), then try a compile.
I'm trying to use the c++ machine learning library GPUMLib downloaded at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpumlib/
How can I add this project in Visual studio in order to use it?
I build it with cmake. I put the source floder "GPUMLib" and cmake.exe in the same floder. In CMD ues commod 'cmake GPUMLib' , if you are fortunatrly enough you will get a GPUMLib Microsoft Visual Studio solution file. Open the sulotion file use VS,you can build it.
One problem may arise, the ReductionKernels project can not load correctly, just remove the ** Fliters Files.
I download the glew source file from http://glew.sourceforge.net/.
In the readme file, it says I should use \build\vc6.0\glew.dsw to comple the DLL.
But there are four projects after I open it in VS 2010.
When I compile them, 2 of them failed to compile.
Thanks.
Ok.
I figured it out.
Just open the the file in glew.dsw in VS 2010.
There are four projects.
Compile glew_shared, you will get glew32d.dll.
Compile glew_static, you will get glew32d.lib.
just ignore the other two.
glew32d.dll and glew32d.lib works fine in VS 2010.
This also answer my own question in
Glew in VS 2010: unresolved external symbol __imp__glewInit
Just a guess but by the way that folder is labelled, it's probably meant to compile using Visual C++ 6.0, which came with Visual Studio 6. I just gave it a quick try and built without problems under that IDE. Of course, I don't believe Microsoft offers that product anymore. If you want to build it yourself, you'll probably have to upgrade the code base to Visual C++ 2010.
I ran into the same problem. I converted the original project to Visual Studio 2010 and placed the result in https://github.com/chrisoei/glew. See the downloads section for a zip file containing glew32.dll built using VS 2010.
