Jay B. Harlow VCMAME: compiles with VC2003, fails with VC2005
I'm trying to build the MAME source using Visual C++ 2005. I'm using the VCMAME project files from http://www.vcmame.net/ . I first built the project in Visual Studio 2003, then opened the project in VC++ 2005 and rebuilt. I only had to make a few modifications to the project, like adding _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to silence a bunch of warnings. However, one of the source files (winalloc.c) implements their own memory handling functions so ...Show All

RonDesta New to VC++, can't really get started...
I'm a C programmer and I just installed VC++, created a new project called test1, and started typing in code.

I decided to debug since that is the first thing I do with all my other compilers, then compile and build but it cannot find test1.exe ...Show All
