Re: Compiling in Windows using the VC++ IDE

Hi Michele,

It is indeed possible but takes some efforts. You will need to create a special rule to generate the dictionary. The rule will need to execute something like:

    rootcint -f dict.cxx -c myheader.h mylinkdef.h and then make sure that dict.cxx is compiled and linked as the other source files.

Cheers,
Philippe.
