Building a Carbide C++ project with Unicode source files

[SwordAngel]

Hello,

My project has source files saved in Unicode with a byte-order mark. When I attempt to build, I get over a thousand errors. I believe it has to with the compiler not recognizing Unicode.

How can I build the project without changing the encoding? I would prefer not to change the encoding of the source files because I work with a multilingual team of developers and we like to put comments in different languages (English, traditional Chinese, and simplified Chinese).

You could maybe try Carbide, it allows you to define the encoding for different files. Though only hav eused it with UTF8 loc files so far, but might be worth of trying.

I am actually using Carbide.c++. The errors that I see all appear in the "Problems" view of Carbide.c++ when I select "Project" --> "Build Project" from the menu bar.

When I open the properties of the .h and .cpp files, their encoding seems to be already recognized as UTF-8 with BOM by the Carbide.c++ IDE. It looks like the compiler is the one having trouble. Is there an option I can pass to the compiler so it recognizes Unicode source files?

in the carbide: Edit->Set Encoding. set it to UTF-8
