  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

• Capt. Mick _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE has no effect

  MSDN clearly states that if you define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE it "will disable deprecation warnings". I tried adding _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to the Preprocessor Definitions and #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to the code. In both cases I still get a C4996 warning from every single strcpy call. The only way to disable the warning, as far as I can tell, is to use #pragma warning (disable:4996) or add the warning to the C/C++ settings (Ad ...Show All
