[LLVMdev] Barking Up The Wrong Tree?

[Eric Mader]

I just tried adding a .m file to the project. Visual Studio didn't 
recognize it as a source file. I changed it's properties to say it was a 
C/C++ source file and then VS tried to compile it. I can't really tell 
if it was being treated as Objective-C because there are too many  
header file errors.

Regards,
Eric
