microsoft visual c++

[paz]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to start new C project with microsoft visual c++?

I've created a file, but Tools-Run is inActive.

How can I make it Active?

Build-compile is inActive too :-(

I created new project and add my file to it, but it didn't help.

This question is not topical in comp.lang.c BUT personally, I think it
should be. K&R have this to say on the matter:

"This is the big hurdle; to leap over it you have to be able to create the
program text somewhere, compile it successfully, load it, run it, and find
out where your output went. With these mechanical details mastered,
everything else is comparatively easy."

The niceties of Visual Studio are of course nothing to do with C itself, and
so normally I'd recommend that you find a Microsoft site. But frankly, if I
do that, you'll probably end up becoming a Microsofty, and I wouldn't wish
that on anyone.

So - here is the URL of a quick guide to starting a new C project in Visual
Studio (covers versions 5 and 6). If you have an earlier or later version
of Visual Studio, the basic procedure is typically much the same, but
things are in different places, that's all.

Now that I've said all that, I must apologise to my fellow regular
contributors to this group for replying to an off-topic question with an
answer that is not a redirection to another group. I hope, however, that
they will reflect upon the possibility that "paz" may one day become an
world-class expert in ISO C programming as a result of not being sent off
to a Microsoft group...

I do it differently:

I open any .c or .h file
which happens to already be in the bin directory,
which is where my compiler looks for source code.

I do a "Save as..." which is an option under "File"
and which copies the file under a new name like "new.c"

I rewrite the file and then under "Build"
I select "Compile new.c".

At this point the compiler asks me if I want to create a
new workspace and I reply "Yes".

Then under "Project", I click "Settings"
and under the "C/C++" tab, I raise the warning level to 4.

Then under "File" I select "Save Workspace".

When I want to add additional c files to the project,
then while the project is still open,
I open additional c files under "File".

I go to "Build" again and when I try to compile the additional
C files, the compiler gives me the option to add the file
to the project and I select "Yes".

I open the programs header files for viewing,
but I never add them to the project.

.... and that's how I wrote and compiled e_driver.c

Yes. Do not worry, the other members of this group will never cry
"off topic" when heathfield does something like this. It is only when
I answer "off topic" questions like "bss" or the mapping of the
program sections to the constructs in the C language when everybody
will start screaming.

Answering about MSVC is not that bad and not off topic at all.

Probably not on *this* occasion, because they'll sympathise with the OP - we
were all newbies once - but "never"? Dream on. If I post off-topic stuff, I
*should* be criticised for so doing, and people are perfectly prepared to
do that. Chris Dollin did so earlier today, actually, in a thread about the
generation of unique IDs - and he was quite right. So - wrong again, Mr
Navia!

It is only when

program sections to the constructs in the C language when everybody
will start screaming.

No, it's not just you. It's all of us. And no, nobody (or at least none of
the reasonable folk) will start screaming. It is possible to communicate
without screaming.

Answering about MSVC is not that bad and not off topic at all.

I wasn't giving an answer about MSVC in general, though - I was just giving
the guy a kickstart to help him get under way with his C learning.

Your guilty plea is rejected. You merely redirected the OP to a more
appropriate source of information. The fact that it wasn't another
newsgroup is irrelevant.

Nevertheless, you are sentenced to community service for an indefinite
period (or until you get tired of it).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

That's the first time I've heard that particular reason for an
off-topic post, and I must admit that it's more persuasive than most
:-)
