Quote:I'll see about getting MSVC 2008 form my school. Does it matter which version you get (Express, or Professional, or anything in between?)
No, even the express version can use the /MP switch, but you always hav to add it yourself (it's off by default).
Quote:Its a lot of work IMO, I was going to leave it for headers that I no longer need to work on. Which might be a long ways away..
Really consider using precompiled headers, the impact will be huge, trust us.
- make a general header, say you call it stdafx.h for example, and #include all API and libraries here
- make a translation unit dedicated for the compilation of the general header. Call it stdafx.cpp and add only one line in it : #include "stdafx.h"
- in your general project properties, select "Use precompiled header" in the "precompiled headers" tab
- right click on stdafx.cpp, properties, and select "Create precompiled header" in the "precompiled headers" tab
- in each .cpp file : remove all API and libraries includes, and #include "stdafx.h" at the top of the file
