    From Jon Justvig@STEPPING to All on Sat Nov 21 00:06:47 2009
    Hi all,

    I am currently working on a C++ project. I am in need of a good compiler. I need a few hints on a few selections out there that will work for me. If anyone has used the OpenDoors SDK and has been successful in their compliations that would be a plus. I've tried Bloodshed and Visual C++ 2010. Bloodshed compiles under circumstances and VC++ just gives me a million reasons why it won't compile. Thanks... TTYL!

    When I was messing with OpenDoors recently, I did get it to compile, and I was using MS Visual C++ (2008, full version). One thing that the newer versions of Visual C++ tend to do is give a bunch of warnings about what it considers insecure C/C++ functions, but even with those warnings, the code should still compile. I suppose Microsoft has a point in that those functions *could* be a security risk, but I think the main reason they put those warnings in there is because they want you to use Microsoft's own proprietary (albeit probably legitimately) more secure functions so that your code will be tied to the Windows platform. :)

    Some of those security warnings are kinda silly though. Technically, scanf() could be considered insecure, but you just need to be careful about how you use it.

    Hmm i haven't tried it in a long time, it does compile as i remember playing with it under DevC++ but that was a long time ago and it didn't seemed to ahve some strange hard coding on the door32 drop file. But ahwell there is also Borland C++ 5 thats free, it's a very nice compiler as well but all commandline, again if you want a nice IDE i would try eclipse, and plus in g++ to it.

    I'll try out Eclipse some more when I get more time. Thanks for the
    uggestion.
