never had issues with them in C/C++ though

The first parts of .NET were open-sourced a whole year ago now, but I still see people recommending Mono as if it's the only option, even though Microsoft themselves stated that they'd be actively working on the linux port instead of just leaving it to the community. A quick google doesn't tell me much about what's happened over the course of the year. Anyone who actually knows some C# know?

It's microsoft promising to help the open source community. That should give you your answer right there.

Well there are official Microsoft font packages etc. for linux, even if they have been ignored for a decade. It's not impossible.

I've been trying to get Visual Studio 2015 working for C++ for a while now, but whatever I do, the .exes it outputs don't work. If I start them with the big 'Local Windows Debugger' button, it waits a while, then pops up with this:



Then it shows this when I click Terminate:



If I go and start it with Command Prompt, it acts as if it started it, but just sits there, not printing anything, and not terminating.

A friend is having the exact same issue, and I ran into an open source thing I wanted to run that had the same behaviour, apparently appearing at the same time as VS 2015 was switched to.

thats just weird, have you tried older versions? removing certain plugins of VS?
is this a fresh install?

sounds like the compiler is screwing up for some odd reason or one of the libraries are pooped :/

Fresh install. I've not tried an older version. I could, but that's an additional largish download in order to get obsolete software.

can you build other people's c++ projects btw? or do those end up being pooped too?

I'll try that in a second once I've found something that is known to work in VS 2015. However, I just realised that Microsoft would have a Hello World tutorial, so I found it, and tried following it, and the IDE froze at the point I first ran the code. The tutorial is here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj620919.aspx

EDIT: I know Dolphin works in VS 2015 for other people, but it's a little big to try and use as a minimal test case.

I just repaired the installation via control panel, and there's no change.
