Converting DJGPP C++ code to VC++

[CubeE101]

What all do you need to do (if it is possible) to make djgpp programs run with VC++...

is it a simple matter of setting up the project right?
Or is it more complicated than that?

it looks like standard C++ to me, but I don't use VC++ very often... Mostly VB

I made a blank console 32 app...
added the files to the project... then tried to compile it...

When I try to compile it I get a handful of errors... Like:

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '['
unsigned char *plasma1 = new (unsigned char)[256000];

error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal
long long startTime = timer->getCount(), frameCount = 0, currentTime;

error C2065: 'uclock' : undeclared identifier
startTime = uclock();
...which is supposed to be here...
#include <time.h> // has the uclock() we need
...is this a djgpp specific function?

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dpmi.h': No such file or directory
#include <dpmi.h>
...is this a djgpp specific file?

The reason I want to use VC++ is because I can't get DJGPP programs to run on windows XP, if anyone can tell me how I can make them run, I would appreciate it.

>>unsigned char *plasma1 = new (unsigned char)[256000];

Should be:
unsigned char *plasma1 = new unsigned char[256000];


>> long long startTime = timer->getCount(), frameCount = 0, currentTime;

I don't know how many bytes a 'long long' is in the other editor, but if it's 8; replace it with _int64 in VC++.


>>#include <time.h> // has the uclock() we need

Maybe it does in the other editor and doesn't in VC++ system include files.


>>#include <dpmi.h>

If VC++ can't find it... then it's probably only present as a system include file with the other editor.

That is what I was afraid of...

I &quot;think&quot; DJGPP has the source code available somewhere...

I guess I will try to recompile the libraries VC++ and try to go from there... (if I can find the source)

If anyone has another solution, please let me know...

Thnx
