• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Simple Question (I hope)

Hello everybody!

I just started to to learn gauge programming. I'm very familar with the Language JAVA and some Basics in C.

My first Question:

I've installed the FS9 Panel SDK and MS Visual Studio Standard Edition. Then, i added to my PATH Variable in Windows "D:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin"

Now I only wanted to compile the samples included in the SDK. So ich changed to that directory and run "nmake"

But i'm getting following error Code:

Code:
C:\Programme\FS2004SDK\Panels_SDK\sample>nmake

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility, Version 8.00.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.

        cl  -c -I..\inc SDK.c
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ""D:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.EX
E"": Rückgabe-Code "0xc0000135"
Stop.

C:\Programme\FS2004SDK\Panels_SDK\sample>

Something I made wrong??? Any Idea?

Thank you for any Tip!!! :)
 
I have no idea myself what the error message is about, but why use such an "antique" compiler?

You can get the MSVC++ .NET 2005 Express Edition for free use, and it gives you the all the "modern" conveniences of GUI programming environment, as well as "Intellisense," which is a context-driven Help system.

For more information and detailed instructions for setup and usage, see the sticky posts in my "Panels & Gauges" forum at flightsim.com:

I'm getting the 2005 Standard Edition for Free as I am a student who's university is Member of the MSDNAA Program :D Perhaps I have to run the windows Update to get the newest compiler, i will see.

But i will have a try with the Express Edition first. Thans a lot for your usefull link! :)
 
I don't think i'll use JAVA to manage this. For 2 reasons:

1) I want to learn (get betterin ) C!!!
2) For this Project, Performance is really important. C will be the better choise i think.


But thanks for the link, i will have a try for myself, for sure! :)
