I have actually built xconq with VC6 introductory edition, but I
didn't reinstall it after the last OS reinstall (and before I did
finish the description). It is actually quite simple:
- create a new project
- add all relevant .c and .h files to the project, that is all from
kernel and tcltk except the files for other platforms and the image
test app mains
- add include paths until it preprocesses (I think it needs bitmaps,
kernel, and the headers from the Tcl/Tk distribution)
- fix all compile errors (should mostly be fixed, but the occasional
missing define/struct/function might have crept back in, because
the VC libc is slightly different from *nix and Code Warrior)
- add libraries until it links (it needs most of the standard stuff
and - of course - Tcl/Tk libraries)
- fiddle with the Tcl and Tk library path until it runs
- write up a nice description for the INSTALL-win document:-)
I don't know how dificult it is with VS.net.
