What development environment is the 'best' for restructing the FemmWell, the source posted on the femm website is Visual C++ 4. The program ends up using some stuff that is probably specific to vc++, so it would probably be difficult to build it with another compiler. You can load and compile the source on versions of vc++ later than 4 without any problems (at least it works OK with the VC++ 6 Enterprise Edition that I have installed on my work machine). Everything that you need to compile the program with vc++ is included in the source distribution (i.e. no libraries that you have to round up from somewhere else).
source code to individual requirements eg VC++, linux C++ compiler
etc? What libraries are required?
I'd rather not purchase new support software if I can help it.My programming skills are fairly basic so I need some guidance on a
starting point.Douglas Stevenson
While Visual C++ isn't freeware, it isn't all that expensive to acquire. Since I'm a cheapskate, I run the vc++4.0 Standard Edition at home, which came bundled with the book "Essential Visual C++ 4" for about $40 US. The Standard Edition of vc++6 is available new for $82 US at buy.com, and you could probably get a used version on ebay for about $20.
