Title: How do I set up Visual Studio 2015 compiler?
Post by: pabristow on March 23, 2016, 02:03:24 pm

Are there any instructions (or downloadables) that will help in adding Visual studio to my compiler set.

(I am trying to ensure that code compiles and runs equally with GCC, Clang and VS toolsets, and in 32 and 64-bit modes too).

My compiler installation directory is the default

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC

what should I enter in the other fields?

Autodetect does not alter from gcc.exe to cl.exe for example.

Thank you.  Paul

Search the wiki for instructions about older VCs. The setup should be the same with the new one.

I posted a description for VS2010. Its a bit lengthy but ships around some pitfalls I encountered
by following other descriptions I found.

Maybe VC2015 is not too different. The post also shows up when you search for "VC2010"
