Does it only support C/C++ and VB? Or does it support other languages as well? Can you add language definitions to add your own languages in(Like add Java definitions in for color-coding and that sort of thing)?

As far as I can tell from the download page
http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/
the 2008 express versions are C++ , C# , VB , Visual Web Developer and there is a download for SQL Server 2005 . In the 2005 versions they had a j# version as well c# syntax is simular to Mohaa scripting . The editor already has some color coding for the programing language and intellesence popup menus that show while your writing the line that show you the possible methods that you can use . VB 2005 had snippets you could add as well for common code .
[VBEx 2005 example]
Public Shared Function Deck( _
Optional ByVal Decks
As Integer = 1, _
Optional ByVal cardwidth
As Integer = 100, _
Optional ByVal cardheight
As Integer = 200, _
Optional ByVal CardBack
As Integer = 9, _
Optional ByVal shuffle
As Boolean = True, _
Optional ByVal IncludeJoker
As Boolean = False)

MSVS is crap.
Why don't you try
Code::Blocks? You can have it legally for free.

I just got a C++ VS programming book for Xmas. MSVS is fine for what I do in programming.

Please stop swearing, Aprop.
OMoHAA has a readme file that explains how to compile it in Windows using MinGW.

Huh? I based on ioquake compiling guide from wiki.. should i read reame first? Which readme?
Where can i find msys-1.0.dll? Got it! And? What now?
Opened miungw, ran makefile... errors:
Code: Select all
line 7: shell: command not found
line 9: shell: command not found
line 11: shell: syntax errror near unexpected token ' $ (COMPILE_PLATFORM),sunos'
line 11: 'ifeq ($(COMPILE_PLATFROM),sunos)'
What's wrong?

Thanks for reply, still dont work..
Well i should post another topic called :compiling problems" but its offtopic too...windows console? I dint run it from cmd, i tried from msys.bat. Now i tried from sh.exe (?) and from rxvt.exe, both from bin/
Results - the same errors with makefile, i tried cross-make-mingw.sh, error:
Code: Select all
line 6:exec: make: not fouind sh-3.1$
Missing files?
