Running C++ code in VC++.Net

[Peter Krikelis]

Hi,

I have a C++ code. I tried to open and run in in VC++.Net
and it gave me an error: fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: 'getopt.h': No such file or directory

Somehow it did not find the standard C++ library. And the
question is what do I need to do in order to run the C++
code in VC++.Net and get it working or can I do it at all.
What should I do with the not found getopt.h library?

Thatnks in advance,

Peter

Re: Running C++ code in VC++.Net

getopt.h is not a standard C++ header, it's a POSIX header.

To get it working you need an UNIX compatibility layer, such as Cygwin
(http://www.cygwin.com)

Hello Peter,

Thanks for posting in the group.

Andrew is right. The error message has shown the reason of the problem.
VS.NET couldn't find that header file. It is not a standard header file
included in VS.NET. getopt is a function in Posix system. Andrew has
introduced a method. Here I'd like to introduce another MSDN artilce in
this area:
"UNIX Application Migration Guide"

Does that answer your question?
