Coding > can I code GBA stuffage with MSDEV.NET ?

#4679 - IFooBar - Sun Apr 06, 2003 10:09 pm

Hi all.

First time on these forums. First day with GBA development. It seems that you have to either use gcc or HAM to develop for GBA correct? Is there anyway I can write code with MS.NET compiler/IDE (basically VC++7.0). Or can I only use gcc for GBA development?


thanks for any help




PS: Why is there no beginners forum :/

The C++ compiler that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio is targeted for the x86 architecture, not the ARM7TDMI processor in the GBA. However, you can use GCC with the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.

Yep, just set up a Makefile Project from Visual Studio. It works in version 6 and 7 (.net).
