MS Visual C++ Express 2010 with SFML 2.0 and Windows 8
« on: December 04, 2012, 12:25:36 am »
Has anyone got MS Visual C++ Express 2010 working with SFML 2.0 in Windows 8?

If the 2010 version of VC++ won't work in Win8, are there pre-compiled modules for SFML 2.0 which will work with MS Visual C++ Express 2012 in Windows 8?

I'm thinking of installing Windows 8 in place of Vista on my laptop so thanks for any help on this,
Raptor

Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 work perfectly fine on Windows 8. ;)

There aren't any official builds for VS10 though, so you'd have to build it on your own, or use my Nightly Builds. ;)

If Visual Studio C++ Express 2010 works fine in Windows 8, then that will be fine for my needs.

However, looking at your Nightly Builds, it lists versions for Visual C++ 10 and 11.  What do the 10 and 11 signify?

Thanks,

The Visual Studio get a name with the year number where the versiin number slowly increases. With VS 2010 they got lucky and the year and version number matches, but with VS 2012 the version is 11, thus VC10 and VC11. ;)

Thanks for that info.  Might be a good thing to explain that the 11 indicates VS 2012 on your webpage.  Folks who don't know that (like me) wouldn't download the 11 version for VS 2012.

Happy Holidays,
