Hi everyone,
I forget who's advice it was I took, but I went out and bought a few books on windows programming. And I plan to get started trying to help out with the wine project by trying to get the sample applications from the books to run under wine. If nothing else I guess I can let everyone know what it is I can't get working under wine (hopefully everyone welcomes that sort of input).
So what I'm wondering now is what I should be using to compile my applications on windows. One of the books I have says all I need is the win32 sdk and I can compile apps. The closest thing I can find on msdn is the microsoft platform sdk, or perhaps the .net sdk. I've installed the microsoft platform sdk core but it doesn't seem to contain nmake.exe like the book I have talks about. So maybe I just need more pieces of the sdk? Or maybe I've installed the wrong thing entirely?
I know of some other things I could use like borland's compiler or the bloodshed ide, that uses mingw I believe, but I was thinking it might be better if I stuck with microsoft development apps so everything happens the microsoft way in my programs. So maybe I just need to take one for the team and go out and buy visual studio?
Thanks in advance, Glen
