I read an article that we can make Visual C++ 6.0 use the free Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit (command-line) compiler.
Assuming Visual Studio 2003.NET uses the same C++ compiler as the free 2003 Toolkit is it possible to make Visual Studio 2003.NET point the include/lib folder path to Visual C++ 6.0 ones?
Andrew:
I'm not quite sure what your question is, but I did get manage to get the VC6 IDE working with the the VS2003 compiler. If you want this to work for all projects then you can just change the directories in Tools->Options->Directories.
As I recall, I used the VC6 MFC libs and the VS2003 C/C++ ones (VS2003 will not compile the VC6 C++ library, mostly because of missing typename's).
The killer with this is that VC6 cannot read the VC7 debug information. You can do JIT debugging by switching to VC7 but it all gets very messy.
But maybe I have misunderstood your question (which almost sounds the opposite of this). Why would you want to use VC6 libraries in VC7?
