Stanford Engineering Everywhere CS106B Library

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am currently a C# programmer and have been interested in learning more about C++ and data structures. I found the CS106B class offered free online through the Stanford Engineering Everywhere program which seems like it would be a good fit.

I've tried to install the library files they use for the class and keep getting a message that I have to have visual studio 2005 installed for the setup file to run. I don't have 2005, but I've tried the express editions of both vc++ 2008 and vc++2005. Is there any way around this that I can get the proper files installed?

Edit: The zip file containing the libraries came with two files, an exe and an msi.

Answer 1

Reading through handout 5P makes it seem like the installer will expect the file structure VS2005 will create - especially this sentence: "Run (and quit) Visual Studio (you can go ahead and register your copy if it asks you). It is important that you have done this at least once before proceeding to the next step."

Try creating a folder structure like: (under "My Documents") "Visual Studio 2005\Projects" and see if setup.exe will work.

Was having the same problem. I found both the .h and the .c files on line just now (w00t!)

You can find them here: http://www.ime.usp.br/~pf/Roberts/C-library/standard/cslib/

Answer 4

I am using visual studio express, and all I did was to just unzip the files it works fine.. here I have done the CS106B assignment with also the full zip'd up files of that assignment as well, all I did was to uncompress the assignment from the cs106b website and open up the sln (solution) file within visual studio express.

Answer 5

There is no c++ library available for cs106b in unix system. I hope they publish the library in source.
