I then call g++ timer_ex.cpp from the examples directory. But I get a lot of error messages. Short of using Visual Studio, what's the best way of compiling dlib examples on Win...

I'm trying to wrap my head around getting user input from a joystick/mouse, which doesn't seem all that complicated, but I've run across this simple showstopper: calling joyGetNumDevs() gives me an unresolved external symbol error. I've included the necessary Windows.h and MMSystem.h, so I don't have any idea what may be causing this pro...

I have a bunch of old machines running Windows 2000 Pro and IE 5.0 which I want to upgrade to IE 6 with Silverlight.

I put the two commands in a DOS batch script and ran i...

What are merge modules and how are they used? I heard that they are .msm files, but I've never seen that before (I've only seen .msi). Are they used when you create msi files? Are they distributed with commercial software (presumably together with msi files?) What is the point of them? Are they to hide the implementation of the install...
