Hi all!

I've been working for somtime now with VisualHAM, but since yesterday
when I relized, that I can use only the Debug library, I am searching
for a compiler with IDE configured to it, which will use Release library
as well.

I downloaded Devkit Advance, and even tried to compile a little program
with it.
But, it fails. I have no idea how to configure VC++ 6.0 to it,
and also don't know how to do and how to use a makefile, that would support optimizations flags and etc... and will use a release library as
well

How would I do all of that exectly as soon as possiable?

PLz, if you are willing to help me, so be specific.
Help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

Cheers, tomer

You need to use a makefile.

I know it's long but go through it (at least the baic concepts) and you should be able to make a makefile.

It's worth learning it, trust me.

In the gbadev.org tutorial section ( http://www.gbadev.org/docs.php?section=tutorials ) is a nice Makefile tutorial wich will teach you the basics about makefiles.
It's all you need to start out so i would read that first.
