How do I create a WT project in MSVC ?

Question

Hi,

if anyone has used WT successfully with MSVC (mine is 2005), could you please provide some details on how this can be done? I have installed WT fine , then ran some examples. The problems begin when I try to create a project of my own, as simple as hello.C. I get a thousand compiler errors like this one :

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\cstdio(25) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'

Possibly some project tuning is required, which I could not figure out, despite trying for many hours...Any help will be appreciated.

[Edit] WT is the Witty (webtoolkit.eu)

Answer 1

Taking a random stab: Try renaming your file "hello.cpp". MSVC compiles .c files as C by default, not C++.

The first result for WT I found via google is the one Jason D linked. It is a C++ library, not a C library.

If this doesn't help, please provide more info, including what "WT" stands for, and some of your short sample code.

Answer 2

Well after searching and googling around for some days , it seems that using CMake is a must in order to build a WT project. This page explains the procedure. Hopefully it will save you some time.
