Building from Within the Development Environment: Overview
If you have an existing makefile that you want to use in Visual C++ 6.0, see:
See for a general overview of managing projects. Also see Upgrade Previous 32-Bit Versions of Visual C++ if necessary for porting your existing projects.
In the Project Settings dialog box (Project menu), you can quickly set build options for any configuration in a project, any file in a configuration, or all the files in a project. If you have file types in your project that the build system does not process by default, you can specify custom commands to process those files.
Once you have specified the projects in your workspace, the configurations that your project is to build, and the tool settings for those configurations, you can build the project with the commands on the Build menu. If you are creating an application for a platform other than the one on which you are running Visual C++, the development environment can automatically transfer the application to the remote machine after it is built.
