"Now you can use your investment in code written to the Microsoft
Win32 application programming interface (API) or to the Microsoft
Foundation Class Library (MFC) application framework and get a fully
functional native Apple Macintosh application. With Microsoft Visual
C++ version 4.0 Cross-Development Edition for Macintosh, you can use
one set of sources and one set of tools to write applications running
on the Microsoft Windows NT� operating system, Windows 95 operating
system, Microsoft Windows version 3.11 operating system (via the
Win32s API), and the Macintosh and Power Macintosh operating
environments. With the entire family of Visual C++ 4.0 tools, you can
also add MIPS R4000, Alpha, and PowerPC machines to your list of
targets."
The first download contains the version 4.0 while the second download
is the version 4.0b which contains some changes and fixes.
NOTE: You may need to set the path for executables for the Mac
platforms in the IDE by hand (m68k shown in screenshot, powerpc
similar, but with "mppc"). The installer seems to register include and
lib directories, but not executables!
For command line builds:
`
set path=c:\msdev\mac\bin;c:\msdev\mac\m68k\bin;%path%
set include=c:\msdev\mac\include;%include%
set lib=c:\msdev\mac\m68k\lib;%lib%
`
-or-
`
set path=c:\msdev\mac\bin;c:\msdev\mac\mppc\bin;%path%
set include=c:\msdev\mac\include;%include%
set lib=c:\msdev\mac\mppc\lib;%lib%
`
