Tips and Common problems

• Compiler can't locate include files

  There are two ways to get the compiler the files it needs to build your project:
  
  
  1. Add the files to the current directory
     • Locate the directory containing the CCC header files (typically, c:\ccc\cccfiles)
     • From the DOS command line, File manager or Explorer, copy the entire contents to your current directory
     
     
  2. Add the Directory to the Includes list
     • Select the Tools | Options | Directories from the main menu of MSVC4.0
       
       
       
     • Add a line for the complete pathname to the directory containing header files, for example, c:\ccc\cccfiles
       
       
       

• The Example program shows a blank Black screen

  
  The Default Project Type is Console, it needs to be replaced by a Windows Project
  Alternatively, it is also possible insert a new Windows project into an existing default (Console) workspace by:
  
  
  1. From the Main Menu, select Insert | Project Into Workspace
     
     
     
  2. From the resulting New Project Workspace dialog box
     • Under Type: Click on the Application icon
     • Under Name: Type your project's name into Edit box
       (Name it something other than the base filename of your primary .cpp file)
     • Under Platform: Select Win32
     • Under Location: Browse to select a Directory to contain system generated files for use as project workspace
       (Generally, use the same directory as your primary .cpp source file)
     • Click on the Create button to confirm type, name, platform and location of your new project workspace
       
       
       
  3. Select the Insert | File into Project... option from the main menu of the Developer Studio
     
     
     
  4. Browse and select your primary .cpp file to include in the workspace, e.g. ~\ccc\examples\ch*
