Microsoft is offering a free version of Visual Studio (which might be interesting for all of us cheap developers), I was wondering if DarkSDK could work in that environment.

Here's the link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/

I'm convinced that the DGSDK.NET version I'm working on will work just fine under the Express version. It's successfully been tested under SharpDev without any unforeseen issues.

LIBC doesn't even come into it.

[EDIT] Meaning that recompiling via incoorporation of the tool is not necessary as it's linked at runtime.

Ah good - so hopefully the Freeware version will be okay.

The other problem will be any DirectX 8 calls - although if they are statically linked too, it shouldn't be a problem.

Nicholas, your worrying too much my friend, the Wrapper encapsulates EVERYTHING that the DGSDK (C++) version supports. All I'm merely doing is providing a way to use the library via .NET interop. It's all bound at runtime, so no compiling of required dependencies of the DGSDK libraries are required. If you plan to use DirectX in the actual program yourself, then yes, you will need the DX libs and headers as requred. If your program merely requires the functionality of what DGSDK itself provides, except for non OLE based standard types such as DX Texture structures etc, then the DGSDK.NET library should just work

I'm talking about the C++ GDSK part, not .Net - the VS2003 version doesn't working VS 2005 (Free version) for 2 main reasons : LIBC and DirectX 8.

I presume Unkelben was also talking about about the GDSK C++ version.

The DirectX 8 (which is what the multiplayer part uses), is hopefully solved by using DirectX 9

LIBC could be solved by statically linking. Or not using LIBC...

We'll have to call the .Net part GDSK .Net, whilst the C version is GDSK C.
