devkitPro

Hello,
I've been trying to set devkitPPC up for VS 2010, but I always get a number of errors, starting with:

IntelliSense: cannot open source file "stdbool.h" c:\devkitpro\libogc\include\gctypes.h 9

i've found this thread but i have no idea how to modify the code. I have looked at the file, and it's not as simple as it looks there.
Can someone please help with this?
Thanks

Add c:\devkitpro\devkitPPC\powerpc-eabi\include and c:\devkitpro\devkitPPC\lib\gcc\4.4.3\powerpc-eabi\include to your VS include search paths. That last path will need modified for future devkitPPC updates so make a note.

i get all kinds of crazy errors now, I've attached images of them.

also, in C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\lib\gcc\powerpc-eabi\4.4.3\, there's an include and an include-fixed. which one do i use?

Darn, so much for that idea, looks like Intellisense can't parse gcc headers terribly well.

It should be just include, unfortunately it looks like allowing Intellisense to parse the gcc headers is a bad idea.

I've just had a play around with the VS2010 Express edition - I removed the VC search paths to get IntelliSense using the gcc headers instead but that's even worse, it doesn't understand a lot of the newlib headers which results in errors for a lot of standard functions. Things look a lot better if you remove the gcc paths and stick with just adding the libogc include path then right click the error window and untick "Show IntelliSense Errors".

Unfortunately it looks like VS2010 doesn't capture the error and warning output from make so the exercise was a bit pointless :/ You might be better using 2k8, things seem to work a lot better there.

Wow ok then, ill get an express editiom of 2k8. The appeal of 2010 is the better intellisense support for c/c++. Guess ill do without for now, thx for all of the help
