I was using MinGW's GCC manually without a makefile to compile a DLL. It's since proved ridiculously hard to get more than one MinGW DLL running in an app compiled with Visual Studio. I've decided to compile the DLL with the Visual Studio 2008 Command Line, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do that. It seems there are sizab...

Can anyone describe what the IDE is doing when you run a single test that has been defined? When I start a single test for the first time, the IDE just sits there, taking a few minutes before it starts compiling. When it complies, I can see what it is doing in the output window. Once I see that, I get my desired results. This slowdow...
