How good is it? I only want the MSVC++ 6 part of it so here are some Qs...
1. Does it need the net framework?
2. Is MSVC++ 6 Faster than GPP/DevCPP
3. If so then how fast?
4. How many MB of HD do I need to Install just the MSVC++ part of the studio? I'm using my sis' comp so I don't have much leeway on the HD side of things.
Thanks in advance.
1. No.
2. Yes.
3. Not very, but you can look some benchmarks.
4. If you install just VC6 from the Visual Studio 98 CD it takes more than 100 megs on your hard disk. This comes with a shitload of libraries and headers. My installation takes exactly 114 Megs.
Cool!!!!
Are there sites that benchmarks it against MingW?
I suppose, I might have seen a couple. I think that a simple google search should throw in a tad. You know, people are always bench-marking.
I bought the CD but the C++ install would net like 350 MB with all the compactness I can think of. How did you get it to appx. 100mb?
Oh well... I found an explanation:
I have the MS Visual Studio 98 set of CDs. In the first one you get the compilers, and the rest are for MSDN and tools.
I installed MSVC6 and MSVB6... I guess that there's a "shared" folder among the two of them that takes a lot - 114 Mb was just the VC98 folder. 32 Mb was the VB6 folder. But there's also a "common" folder with 38 megs.
Anyways, 300 Mbs is a whole lot. I really don't know what I did, my MSVS98 installation was performed four years ago in my 233 MMX computer and was "inherited" by this computer as I just plugged my HDD.
Maybe we are talking about different versions, MSVS98 contains MSVC6, but maybe your version has some service pack or whatever, I dunno.
I pared it down to 218 mb. Thanks to you and Nek.
BTW, I don't have that MSDN CD? Where could I get the disc?
Man, that's the hard part... I tried really hard to get 'em. I ended up getting VB5 instead.

Tricky. Several ways to get
them (three in my distro)
1.- You get the complete MS Visual Studio 98 package (5 CDs)
2.- You have an internet connection and look into
http://msdn.microsoft.com whenever you need something <- not applicable.
3.- Download them from Emule. <- most suitable.
Do you know something with an internet connection or something working at the cybercafe? You could ask them to download them for you.
I'll try.....
Update. Got TinyPTC to work but I had to "manually" add TinyPTC.lib to the command line.
Is there any way to add LIB,OBJ,DLL files to your workspace via the IDE?
