Should be able to compile using free Visual Studio Express #8

Closed obviousjim closed 10 years ago

obviousjim commented 10 years ago

Currently KCB requires:

include

Which excludes Visual Studio Express. In the spirit of openness I think that we should allow this to be built using a free IDE.

How would a developer build x64 OpenFrameworks projects?

Hi Dale,

Not sure that this issue is directly related to x64 -- but to answer your question we are currently using this experimental x64 branch: https://github.com/prisonerjohn/openFrameworks/tree/0.8.0_64

And there are several others floating around too.

My point is that it is not possible to develop or build x64 OpenFrameworks projects without x64 capable version of Visual Studio. A user with VS Express cannot work with x64 version of OF.

Hi we just confirmed on this side that you can in fact build x64 on VS Express, so the issue still stands.

stammen commented 10 years ago

Thanks. Are you using VS Express 2012?

obviousjim commented 10 years ago

yes

stammen commented 10 years ago

It looks like we would have to rewrite KCB to not use CComPtr as that is not supported in Express versions.

obviousjim commented 10 years ago

(being facetious) or start giving away VS for free :) This recent development of giving away the OS, maybe it's possible to reconsider paying for IDEs too?

stammen commented 10 years ago

We are working on updating KCB to compile with Visual Studio Express.

KCB version compilable using Visual Studio Express (VSe2013 was used) can be now found in ccomptr-8 branch.
