Using Visual Studio 2005 - project conversion made easy


Using Visual Studio 2005 - project conversion made easy

Postby Conan » Nov 12, 2005 @ 2:54pm

There is a separate download for VS2005 which converts eVC3 and eVC4 projects. I have tried with PocketFrog and the Plasma projects & both converted. This makes the getting started process really easy.


There were 3 INT definitions in the plasma code which needed added (scope of the variable was different slightly between versions?).

I just used project dependancies to link plasma to PF, no setting directories for libs needed anymore.

Plasma builds & deploys fine to my MV5 device to a folder called program files/plasma & runs correctly. nb: as noted in eVC4 Blit demo fails.

The emulator looks great though I have not used it yet.

Here is the link to the conversion wizard:-

I've ran the .bat batch file to install the tool - but it doesn't show up in VS2005 -> Tools or Start menu

How do I use it ?


also, where do I place my libraries: PocketHAL & Hekkus ?

it works automatically.
If you right click on the project you get it's properties. In C++ you can set up the inclodes and in linker the .lib's.
Note that the PF lib is built into a VS2005 WM5 location not the regular place.

The project I want to load is my old eVC4 project

I'm really confused...
I'll open the .vcp and I don't see the resources come up, I don't the rest of the "solution".

I was expecting it to come up and convert automatically, but I didn't see any conversion take place.

Have you run evcupgradewizard.msi then have you
Unzipped <Program Files>\eVCUpgradeWizard\eVCUpgradeWizardBeta2.zip
and in the directory you unzipped to, run install_eVCUW.bat ?
This is needed for the beta to import projects from eVC3 or 4.

Have you tried one of the regular PF demos? Does it convert?

I'm happy to try your project on my PC but can't do it till tomorrow as I'm out tonight.

I have run the batch file.

Do I need to install the WM2003 SDK ?
