I'm developing with an API and the API requires the afxsock.h
among other afx...
headers. After searching online, it seems that my VS Express isn't enough, so I looked to purchase the product at microsoft. Unfortunately it's 700$ and as a beginning programmer, it makes no sense for me to drop that on 1 project which I am using to teach myself c++. (I.e. I still don't know if I want to program long term in C++ or another language).
In any case, I was wondering if there was some sort of work around to get the afx
(or more appropriately the MFC
) files?
Note that I have Windows 8, Visual Studio 2012, and I've downloaded the Windows Development Kit for Windows 8, but still can't compile because I'm getting missing afx
errors.
