Compiler problem in Visual C++

[GSquadron]

Hi guys!
I am trying to compile in microsoft visual c++ 2008 in a windows application,
but i cannot compile anything. It always says unable to start program,
the system cannot find the file specified
Pls help me!

the express version of visual studio does not come with the windows platform SDK, need to manually download it.

I'm not sure, but I thinkthe way you are using the main method should end you up with a stack overflow. Eveytime main recursively calls itself it will push a pointer to itself onto the stack.

Probably be better to do something like

int main()
{
    universe = 0/0; // <- doesn't this throw a divide by zero exception?
    while (true)
    {
         // don't do anything
    }
}

It's also not good programming practice to not have a way to exit a loop cleanly.
Especially for debugging.

Lol I put that for fun, that has nothing to do with the question
It is just a funny signature!

Oh ... rolf
I just saw code and my natural instinct was to debug it.

If the program is very simple try compiling it with the Visual Studio Command Prompt.

Something like:

cl /EHsc helloworld.cpp

yup it will overflow, but recursive main() is illegal anyway
