Minimum version of VC++ for SDK

Question

What versions of Microsoft Visual C++ are compatible with the Gocator SDK?

Answer

The SDK is officially tested and fully supported with VC++ 2008.

VC++ 2010 is not officially tested by LMI at this point, but no issues are expected.

For older editions of VC++, the amount of extra effort required to use the SDK will vary, depending on what you are trying to do. For example, if you wish to compile/link your own application written with VC++ 2003/2005 against the Go2 library, that should work without any hassles. But if you wish to rebuild the Go2 library or the sample code LMI provides, you need to create project files compatible with your version of VC++ before recompiling the LMI sources. 

Using versions older than VC++ 2003 will likely require changes to the Go2 source code, and is not recommended by LMI.
