already makes some projects that I test and my g++ does not compile at all my projects of visual studio, errors that appear in g++ do not exist in visual studio... anyone knows why? and how do you think you can solve this?

output of G++

Loader w Version Checker.cpp:35:2: error: 'b' does not name a type
}   w h i l e   ( P r o c e s s 3 2 N e x t ( S n a p S h o t ,   & p r o c E n t r y ) ) ;

^

While in visual studio...

I can’t answer for sure because I’ve never used visual studio, but it could be something related to the linkage of bilbiotecas. Maybe visual studio will automatically do this for you with some library you’re using, while for g++ you’d have to do it explicitly.

Visual studio uses a platform to compile different from g++, focused on windows a MSVC : Microsoft C++ Compiler while g++ uses Compiler c++ based on Nix or Nix-based C++ Compiler

To compile a c++ project made in visual studio would have to download the Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools and not the g++
