Summary: Visual C++ 6 doesn't build apps properly using builtin msvcrt Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msvcrt AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
http://suomi.homelinux.net/wordpress/?p=27 says that Visual Studio 6 works fine if you have native msvcrt. So I fired up Visual Studio 6 on a large C++ project here at work (after doing winetricks vcrun6, which is required to get mfc dlls) and sure enough, with the builtin msvcrt, I got lots of errors of the form err:msvcrt:symbol_demangle Unknown operator: _R on wine's console, and lots of lines of the form ... : fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'z:\data\dkegel\foo\vc60.pdb' plus one internal compiler error on the msdev console.
Setting msvcrt to native solved these problems, and the huge project is now happily building away...
