1. Be sure you've downloaded and installed the V GUI library that is pre-built
for VC++. Install it in the same directory as VC++, which is
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Sudio\vc98 on my installation.
2. Create a new workspace which will be an empty WIN32 Application from
the File->New menu. Give it an appropriate name. This will create an
empty project - you add your own files later.
3. Add your source files. (I do it by right clicking the "Source Files" entry
under the "ProjectName files" entry of the "FileView" tab of the Workspace
window. There might be other ways to add files to a workspace.)
This will be the V application you've created.
4. Add the following two libraries to the workspace under the "Resource Files"
entry in the files tree of the Workspace window: vgui.lib and comctl32.lib.
You will have to go to the c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Sudio\vc98\lib
directory to find these libraries.
5. You are ready to compile your project, assuming you aren't using other
libraries. I don't have to set any other options to get VC++ 6 to compile
my V programs when I use the steps outlined. I sometimes get a warning
"Warning LNK4098: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs;
use /NODEFAULTLIB:library". I don't exactly understand that warning, but
the compiled project seems to run, or you can add the /NODEFAULTLIB switch
as suggested.
