[M3devel] cl on windows

[Randy Coleburn]

Olaf:
 
I don't think you want to be doing this with cygwin.  That would mean
you are executing in a cygwin environment, not a true Windows-only
environment.
 
For the Visual Studio command line to work, you have to run the script
that sets up the environment variables.  From the Windows Start menu,
there should be a menu tree labeled "Visual C++ 9.0 Express
Edition-->Visual Studio Tools-->Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt". 
Choosing this item from the menu will bring up a command prompt with the
environment set up properly.
 
Alternately, you can run the following command from an existing command
prompt window:  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86"
 
Note that the above command line assumes you have installed Visual C++
2008 Express Edition.  The paths may be different for different versions
of the software.
 
Of course, if you use my CMD files (e.g., cm3PromptHere.CMD or
cm3SetupCmdEnv.CMD), they do this all for you.
 
Regards,
Randy Coleburn

kind of consistent user interface:

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ type cl
cl is hashed (/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0/VC/bin/cl)

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ cl

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ echo $?
53

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ cl -version

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ echo $?
53

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ cl -help

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ echo $?
53

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ cl /help

elego at wagner ~/work/cm3
$ echo $?
53

Can it do something else?
Visual Studio Setup completely broken?
