minigw32 instead of vc++

Was wondering if I can (how I could) use minigw32
compiler (bundled with IDE Dev-C++) instead of
MS Visual C++ compiler. Thanks in advance

I guess you could. But it wont be easy. You will need to link to the MFC libraries (Measurement Studio C++ libraries require MFC support), not to mention manually add all the measurement studio headers and libraries to your application. Hopefully it has good support for creating dialog applications and adding/removing/editing controls from dialogs. And hopefully the GCC handles C++ the same way VC++ does.I believe GCC is said to be more compliant to the ANSI C++ standards than VC++ so that might be something to watch out for as well.

Measurement Studio checks for Visual Studio before installing its C++ libraries, so you could run into problems there since we design our C++ libraries specifically for Visual Studio only.

So I suppose it could work. But it sure doesnt sound like fun...

I hope this helps
