After having programmed since 8 years only VB6 I want to learn C++.NET now.
It's amazing that everything has to be prepared first. For example I
want to build the DirectShow baseclass, but the only files I found in
the PSDK\Samples\Mu ltimedia\Direct Show\BaseClasse s are
..cpp
..h
makefile
I would like to ask how I should compile them because I was thinking
that I would have a .sln file. Or can I use the makefile somehow in
VC++2008.NET. Btw, when talking about VC++2008, should I say VC9?

I don't understand why you nobody replies. You could even say "It's a
too complicated theme" or "Learn basics first"... just any reply would
be good.

Hi Anna,
After having programmed since 8 years only VB6 I want to learn
C++.NET now. It's amazing that everything has to be prepared first.

the PSDK\Samples\Mu ltimedia\Direct Show\BaseClasse s are

VC++2008.NET.
In the program group of Visual Studio you should find a Tools sub
group with a "Visual Studio 2008 command prompt". Alternatively
the Platform SDK has a "CMD prompt". Start either of those, set
the current directory to the sample you want to build and use
nmake -f makefile
sln files should be available in samples of MFC and ATL.
Btw, when talking about VC++2008, should I say VC9?
Yes.

nmakeworks great with your explanation/ tutorial (thanks again!), but
why does it produce debug files under WIN2000_DEBUG? I thought that "-f"
would make it build release files. When a file has "d" on the end (like
strmbasD.lib) then it's a debug file, right?
I have learnt that the makefile is a macro. In the makefile I can read
!IFDEF NODEBUG
STRMBASE=strmba se
!else
STRMBASE=strmba sd
!endif
I thought that by saying -f I would set NODEBUG to "TRUE" (which would
be RELEASE, wouldn't it?)
Anna
HHAHHAHAHHAHAHA my first success in C++.
I found out that I have to append NODEBUG=1
So it's nmake -f makefile NODEBUG=1
:-))) So happy
Hi Anna,

Good to see you found it yourself.
-f or /f is just the option to the specify the *f*ile to make.
Use nmake /? to get help on nmake's options.
Google for "site:msdn.micr osoft.com nmake" (without quotation
marks) to get some information about nmake from msdn library.

After my first "yippies" I am a bit downside. Could it be that we C++
programmers spend about 50% of our time compiling something? I don't
want to be sarcastic, I would only like to know what I have to expect. I
am trying to compile OpenCV (an image library) for several hours now,
and I have to fetch all the hints about how to do it from Google without
any success yet. Everytime I have managed to attach the correct
libraries and include and source files to my IDE, another problem pops up.
Could anybody tell me after how many weeks this stress will be gone or
feel normal?

That depends all on the libraries, their documentation and their platform
and compiler support.
When I took some parts of the boost library back while using with VC6
and VC7 they included working makefiles and I had no problems.
When you use the libraries and samples coming with VC9 you should
also have no problems.
So you might be having bad luck with your library.
Did you find this link already? http://opencvlibrary.sourceforge.net...alC(2b2b).html

Sven,
thanks, you're really nice. I know this link.
I don't have any problems running an OpenCV application, but there is a
bug in the OpenCV libraries themselves. I want to fix it and then
rebuild it. Maybe it's easy, but at 4 in the morning I gave up :-)
I will try it again now.
