April 29, 20179 yr Download DEv C++ Learn about api reference replace newer api with 9x ones. I think it should go to C/C++ forum rather web development Edited April 29, 20179 yr by Dibya
May 28, 20179 yr Moved to Windows 9x forum for more attention Although putting this thread into the C/C++ forum would also be appropriate, since this is specifically for an OS, it has a better chance of having people chime in here rather than in the coding forum which doesn't receive quite as much attention.
June 3, 20179 yr If you are not a programmer then you should know this: Almost all good(and some bad) programs were writen in C or C++ language. C and C++ is what you need to learn if you want to port existing programs to 9x platform. Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is the latest that works in win95, 98 and WinME. Visual Studio 2005 is the last which may produce 9x compatible programs. The only real alternative to Visual Studio is Borland C++ Builder v6.0. There are many alternative "free" C++ compilers but they are all under some crazy license, latest version of them do not work on 9x platform and they can not produce 9x compatible programs. here is some of them: MinGW (GCC) Minimalist GNU for Windows http://www.mingw.org Open Watcom C/C++ Compiler http://www.openwatcom.org LCC-Win https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/ Orange C/C++ Compiler http://www.members.tripod.com/~ladsoft/orange_c_compiler.html Pelles C (Based on LCC) http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/ Dev-C++ is just IDE which use MinGW (GCC) compiler.
June 4, 20179 yr Author Currently reading through some C++ book to learn about it. Luckily a relative had visual studio 2005 Applied legacyextender to comply 9x compatibility
June 21, 20179 yr I have tried many Compiler over my life but none are good like TDM for GCC http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/about It is capable of compiling for 9x
August 23, 20179 yr Author Oh boy, months and still no progress I've done... Might as well list programs which can write and compile 9x compatible code. Edited August 23, 20179 yr by ~♥Aiko♥Chan♥~
