Building "create_project" with MinGW32

Post by monsieurouxx »

Hi,

Has the "create_project" source been designed specifically for Visual Studio, or do I have a chance to build it with MinGW32 (Code::Blocks)?

For example, I can see that it uses classes <string>, <list>, etc.

Are these standard or are they specific includes provided by Visual Studio? (I hope I won't have to deploy STL, for example)

I'm sorry if my question sounds very naive, but it's always very hard to tell what is satndard, what comes with the compiler, and what comes with external libraries.

More specifically, at the moment, the linker fails because it cant' find functions like "Uuidcreate", "RpcStringFree", etc.
I don't know in what library they're supposed to be.

I've found a way to compile easily a stripped-down version of 'create_project' that works specifically for Code::Blocks and doesn't need any Visual-Studio material (even DLLs).

I'll post a quick tutorial.
