  • Appendix A. Using the Sample Programs

    The book''s support Web site (Chapter 7).

  • The projects (in release, not debug, form) and make files are included. The projects are all very simple, with minimal dependencies, and can also be created quickly with the desired configuration and as either debug or release versions.

  • The projects are defined to build all programs, with the exception of static or dynamic libraries, as console applications.

  • It is also possible to build the programs using open source development tools, such as gcc and g++ in the Gnu Compiler Collection ( http://gcc.gnu.org/). Readers interested in these tools should look at the MinGW open source project ( http://www.mingw.org), which describes MinGW as "a collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party C runtime DLLs." I have not tested most of the programs using these tools, however, but I have had considerable success using MinGW and have even been able to cross-build, constructing Windows executable programs and DLLs on a Linux system. Furthermore, I''ve found that gcc and g++ provide very useful 64-bit warning and error messages.
