Yes, lots of wizards and helpers and templates... In Visual Studio. Can you
show me a quick example of how to do it with a free compiler like BCC, GCC or
MinGW?
A lot of the shells on the scene are supposedly open source, but at least in
the case of LS there's no way to build it using the freely available
compilers, since it depends on VS specific solutions. And that's even without
the actual COM parts.
What I'd love to see is the day when the open source shells can be built with
software that doesn't cost thousands of dollars unless you're eligible to one
of the various discounts.
If we want the shell scene to be open, I think that ought to include the
compilers as well. Don't you agree?
