MS Visual C++ 2010 Express

[jamespetts]

It seems that there is a new version of MSVC++ Express out: see here for details. Has anyone tried it with Simutrans so far? Are there likely to be any problems using it with Simutrans?

No idea. Is there a major difference between the 2008 and 2010 edition? Are features available in 2008 missing in 2010?

I haven't looked in detail, hoping that somebody here would already have done I've read that the compiler is slightly more optimised, though.

The main feature is the support of a subset of boost/C11++ (or how the next C version is called). SInce both are not available for simutrans (if we want to keep it portable) nothing changes. However the IDE is now in Silvberlight, so it might be even slower than the current one ...

After some tinkering with include/library directories (which are handled in MSVC++ 2010 than in 2008), I have managed to get Simutrans-Experimental to compile under the new version.

I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and after upgrading the existing project and adding the needed include directories, Simutrans compiles just fine...
