So, I took about 30 minutes last night and looked at the SDK samples for Orbiter-2009 RC1 using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express. Here's what I found...
All of the projects need to be run through VC2008's conversion process, which is no big deal.
I tried to complile the following samples:
ShuttlePB: No errors, compiled and ran perfectly in Orbiter 2009RC1
CustomMFD: No Errors, compiled and ran perfectly in O.2009.RC1
DeltaGlider: Build Errors: Could not find afxres.h, of any of the Lua includes.
- missing afxres.h can be solved by getting the Microsoft Platform SDK for Server 2008 and .net 3.5 (They were downloading last night, will try again tonight) and copying the header into the project.
- missing Lua headers can be solved by adding the Lua directory to additional include directories in the project settings.
Once O.2009 is final, I'll put together a VC++2008Express freindly project for DeltaGlider on OH, if needed.
Summary - our Add-on Development life is about to get considerably easier...
