It's not possible to FileZilla 2 without MSVC, but it is possible to compile FileZilla 3 with almost any modern C++ compiler.

There's no need to spend money on VC++ if you can live without the IDE. MS released the VS .NET 7.1 compiler for free at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

GCC (called MinGW on Windows) in both cases.

Thank you all for the replies. I don’t care about an IDE but hey it would be easier to make small changes with one so at this point I don’t know that I will be doing.

Right now I don’t want to try getting into FZ3 I only want to use FZ2 right now.

So I think I will be buying MSVC++ 6.0 as is recommended in the documentation.

With the source for FZ2 it looks like project files are included for MSVC++, is this correct?

Also where would you recommend I buy the program? Is there one place that seems to be better than others?

Again, Thank You.

Yes

Try to check out the free version of the Microsoft compiler fist, look above for the post from eyebex.

yes i did look at it. However it would make it harder to make the small changes i need to make...

Dev C++ is a pretty good IDE for you Windows guys, it uses Mingw (GCC) for a compiler and is completly free and open source.

For now, you could also download the Visual C++ 2005 Express beta, which also gives you a full-blown IDE: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/

How advance is that IDE? Will it compile (almost) any vc++ projects that I might have lying around?

Then the Eclipse foundation is adding C++ to its IDE framework. And you cant beat them with their Java IDE, it is the best in the industry. But unfortunately, the C++ is still missing some parts.

the projects i tried so far (both native 2005 express and imported .net 2003 projects) worked flawlessly. even though the ide in a bit buggy (e.g. regarding docking of windows), the compiler seems to be quite stable.

I had to try it, and see if it was any good; so I downloaded it and installed it. (That took some real time, never seen an installation program requiring 80 mbs RAM for it to work

But I dont seem to be able to edit the GUI of the FileZilla server interface in vc+express. When I open the tab for editing, and clicking on the right project, it states "Resource editing is not supported on Express SKU".
WTF, then what is the need of this IDE? I can code it in any other text editor, and compile it with the free VC++ compilers.
Or is there anything wrong with my installation???

your installation is okay, resource editing is not (yet?) supported. but i still prefer the ide because of easy access to the project settings etc. and integrated debugging.
