Compiling


Language Considerations
The messiahAPI was written in C, though it has also beed designed to work with C++ code as well. The one exception to this is that your Main Plugin File (See Concepts - Projects) must be a C language file. This means that it should be named PluginMain.c when using MSVC or compiled with gcc as opposed to g++ when using the GNU compilers. If you decide to use C++ for your plugin then it is assumed you are aware of the issues involved in mixing languages so they will not be covered here.
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (MSVC)

Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (.NET or MSVC 7.0)

Warning:
messiahAPI has not been tested with MFC or the .NET framework
Note:
Users of MSVC 6.0 and higher can use a provided file to display messiah data types and macros in a different color in their IDE. To do this follow these steps:
  1. Copy the file SDK/usertype.dat to the directory where your msdev.exe file is located
  2. Launch MSVC and select Tools->Options
  3. Scroll over to the Format tab and choose User Defined Keywords from the list in the Colors group
  4. Choose a color you think would work best, we suggest a blue-green color
