C::B and MS 2005 free compiler?

(1/5) > >>

roland:
Has anyone conceived a way to use the compiler from the free Visual C++ Express Edition with C::B? Since the compiler can be used in console mode (not somehow forcably linked with the IDE itself), it seems that it should be possible.

Any tips? I would like to try using this compiler with C::B in substitution for the MS 2003 toolkit, if possible.

mandrav:
Have you tried changing the master path for the compiler to where VSExpress is installed?

Thordon:
I would also like to set up VC++2005 with Code::Blocks if possible.

How would I do that?

killerbot:
If I am correct, it's like this :

1) Settings (menu) ->Compiler
2) Select your compiler in the "Selected compiler" list
3) Programs tab -> "Compiler's installation directory"
  -> set this one to the directory that contains the bin directory for the comiler/linker/... exe's ov VS Express.

The new one I installed isnt on the list, can I add a new blank compiler and then fill in all the options, or do I have to overwrite one of the other compilers?

Edit: Never mind, I found the 'Copy' button :)

I can compile using VC++2005 now, I took the following steps:

1) Create a new compiler in Code::Blocks named 'Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2005' by copying and renaming my 'Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003' compiler.
2) Click the 'Programs' tab, changed the 'Compiler installation directory' to: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC'.
3) Click the 'Directories' tab, in the compiler tab change 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include', and in the linker tab change 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\lib' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib'.
4) Copy all the DLL's from 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin' (this step might not be neccessary, but it was the only way I could make it work).
