Hello,
I was wondering if I could use my old, but good Microsoft Visual C++ 6 to develop for GameBoy Advance. I already have all installed, the toolkit and the cross-compilers(devKitPRO), but if is it possible to combine this giant tools to get a better environment? If possible, how could I do it?
Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Other than autocomplete, you wouldn't get much from using Visual C++ 6. There wouldn't be any debugging capability, except for code which you simultaneously develop for the PC.
You could always add a Tool for Make.

Ok, but how could I configure Microsoft Visual C++ 6 to compile using devkitPRO?

A makefile project
build command line as:
make -r 2>&1 | sed -e 's/\(.[a-zA-Z]\+\):\([0-9]\+\):/\1(\2):/'
clean command line:
make clean
Dunno if that's what you mean, but its all I have!

No, that isn't what I want. I mean where I can point my project to the devkitPRO gcc on the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.

that is how you do it - as a makefile project
#174460 - nathanpc - Mon Jun 14, 2010 12:51 am
But where I can define this at Microsoft Visual C++ 6?
#174461 - elhobbs - Mon Jun 14, 2010 12:53 am
it has been a few years since I used vc 6, but isn't a makefile project one of the options when creating a new project?

If I create a MakeFile project, and use those ones that I'm using now, everything will be ok? Just simple as this?

No, you also need to configure the build and command lines as mentioned previously.

But where I need to go on the IDE to configure that?

I will try that on my Visual C++ 6.
