Using virtualbox to play with C++
Using virtualbox to play with C++
Hey! I want to get started on these damn awesome tutorials but there's a slight snag: I'm on a mac. So I thought, why not try using virtualbox? Question: Did anybody try it? How did it work? Do I need some special settings to get it setup and shit?
Re: Using virtualbox to play with C++
I have a friend who can use programs perfectly when they bootcamp windows on their macs. But I don't know if you're bootcamping or not. Here's a link if you're interested https://support.apple.com/nl-nl/boot-camp.
Other than that, I use PC, so I can't tell you more. Good luck!

In my Visual Studio 2017 install video I use virtualbox/Win7 and it works out just fine. Boot camp might be even better. If you do go the virtualbox route, make sure you get the acceleration options enabled.

I tried the virtualbox way but the performance sucks. Especially loading visual c++. I've been trying to use SDL for window rendering and event management. It's not perfect but it works. I'll give virtualbox another go. @Zedtho I don't have the memory for a bootcamp image but thanks for the suggestion. @chili thanks!

vbox will suck if you don't have virtualization accel featured enabled for your cpu. What cpu does your mac have?

Just going to take a wild guess and a Intel i3/5 or a Xeon.chili wrote:What cpu does your mac have?

Xeon? Apple would never put a xeon in one of their macs. If they bought it in the past 5 years probably a dual/quad-core i3/i5 and if they're lucky an i7. If I recall correctly you could get intel core M's too.
