flim Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi, just bought Leadwerks Pro on Steam. How to setup Visual Studio 2017 to work with Leadwerks? I cannot find it in documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Josh Posted October 22, 2017 Solution Share Posted October 22, 2017 We presently support VS 2015. The free community edition will work fine.

StOneDOes Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Can confirm - I use community 2017 though depending on your OS you may have to track down a couple libraries from your Windows kits folder, like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flim Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I have installed VS 2015 Community, and found the VS solution in project folder. Build the solution in Release Win32 success, but failed when I try x64, VS shows a lot of error, how to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadwerks 5 moves everything over to 64-bit exclusively and will not support 32-bit operating systems.

flim Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I see, is Leadwerks 5 works with VS 2015 Community? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flim Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Another question, I know C but not C++ and would like to learn C++11. is it OK to use C++11 with Leadwerks 4.x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference between C++ and C++11 in Leadwerks 5 will be shared pointers. This basically gives you the convenience of automatic memory management without the overhead and slow performance that languages like C# suffer from.

flim Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah I read that blog post, can I use shared pointers with Leadwerks 4.x? Or it is required to use traditional C++ with Leadwerks 4.x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it is required to use traditional C++ with Leadwerks 4.x? I recommend using regular pointers. You could probably make some kind of wrapper with shared pointers, but I do not recommend it.
