Thanks a lot! :)

Hello there! I've got a project with a folder structure similar to the following - folderA - subFolderA - folderB - subFolderB All of the folders and sub folders have source code and header files in them. That is actually my problem. Say, for example, I have a source file in folderB, and a header file in folderA, how do I show Visual Studio the location of the file without providing an absolute path on my computer (like c:\project\folderA\header.h)? Is there a way to provide a relative pointer to the folder? As always, thanks for your help in advance.

I know of nmake.exe... but where do I find it/use it?

Greetings, I'm working on a project that needs to easily port between Windows and Linux platforms. As such, we've decided on using multiple development platforms to work with the code (much of which is already written). (For those interested, we're using Eclipse with GNU tools for Linux testing, and Visual Studio for Windows testing). The question is the following: How do I force Visual Studio to read the Makefiles when building the project? I know that Visual Studio has the ability to work with Makefiles, however, I'm not able to make it work with already written code. Anyone have to do this before? Thanks.

Hello there, Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question, but I couldn't decide which one to use. I'm wanting to use Eclipse as a development environment for my C++ project (as I need to be able to easily port between Windows and Linux, it seems to be a good choice). I've successfully been able to compile a simple program with Eclipse using the gcc compiler via Cygwin. This means that I've got things set up for porting to Linux. I'd now like to be able to have my programs run on Windows independent of Cygwin, thus be able to compile for Windows and for Linux with Eclipse, simplifying porting to different systems. Does anyone know of a plug in for Eclipse that would allow me to use the Visual Studio Compiler, or another Windows compiler that doesn't require Cygwin? Thanks for your help.

I'm thinking that it could have something to do with your data types... are all your variables "int", or are you mixing types? Patrick

Dev isn't used because it's only a partial implementation... I'm trying to finish the implementation... :) Thanks for your help. Patrick

Looking at this syntax, I can't quite see what the end result should be. What does this function return? long comm_fm_node_id(comm_fm_dev_t *dev, long group) { return (group == 0) ? MCAST_nodeid : -1; } Patrick

Thanks for the link, that puts me on the right trak; however, considering the following example: // standard exceptions #include #include using namespace std; class myexception: public exception { virtual const char* what() const { return "My exception happened"; } } myex; int main () { try { throw myex; } catch (exception& e) { cout << e.what() << endl; } return 0; } This example does part of what I'm looking for, however I'd like to have more options when using the exception class. I'd like to give the programmer the option of passing in their own error message to the exception class, or to just use the default. Anyone know where I can look fir this? Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to program a few exception classes for use in some software I'm working on. I'm more familliar with Java style of exception programming, and am having trouble finding some good API documentation on C++ exception classes. My plan was to inherit from exception, or runtime_error, however I can't find figure out what methods I'm inheriting without a good API. Does anone know of a good API page on the exeption classes? Thanks. Patrick
