Building ZeroMQ on Visual Studio 6.0

[Rajesh Bhoopathy]

I have built ZeroMQ as dynamic library (dll) using MS Visual C++ 2010.

When we tried to run our application on target machine which dynamically links ZeroMQ, it failed to run as the system doesn’t have VC++ 2010 redistributable.

The target machine is Windows embedded XP and able to run any application which uses a dll built with Visual Studio 6.0

 

So we have decided to build ZeroMQ on Visual Studio 6.0, but it says here http://zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software that we need at least VC++ 2008 or newer to build ZeroMQ on windows.

 

Is it possible to build ZeroMQ on windows using Visual Studio 6.0 ?

 

We tried building it on Visual Studio 6.0, but got lot of include errors which is not seen in VS 2010.

Is there any specific steps or way to build it on Visual Studio 6.0 ?

Hi Rajesh

Why not just installing VC++ 2010 redistributable on your target machine? I think going back to VS6 is not a good idea.

Thanks
