Hi fellas,
Most of you will already be aware of this, but for those who aren't, Microsoft has released the latest version of Visual Studio, very originally named 2012. Interesting new features, especially the extended C++11 support and the possibility to compile native code to work on the GPU with the C++ AMP technology.
Additionally, the Express (i.e. free) version includes both the x86 and x64 flavours of the compiler, unlike previous editions, and also OpenMP support.
So, you want to use VC++2012 with U++, you say? No problem. I spent some time fiddling with the options and managed to make the current version of theIde to work with it. It's not difficult, it just takes some time, so here it is for you:
From Setup/Build Methods, create a new Method and use MSC9 as builder.
Assuming you have installed VC on the default dir, the options are as follows:
PATH- executable directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Ide
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Vc\Bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86
INCLUDE directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Vc\Include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\winrt
LIB directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Vc\Lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x86
UPDATE: As pointed out by lectus, if you're running a 32 bit version of Windows, keep in mind that the first part of the path must be C:\Program Files\ in all cases, instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\
Voilą - you can now compile your U++ programs.
If you'd like to take advantage of the x64 compiler as well, the directories are these:
PATH- executable directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Ide
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Vc\Bin\x86_amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x64
INCLUDE directories: same as for the x86 version (see above)
LIB directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Vc\Lib\amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x64
Hope this helps some of you.
Kel
PS: Get VS here

You're welcome BioBytes, glad to help.
Actually, even though VS Express (as well as the rest of VS versions) targets the new Windows 8, it can be installed on older Windows flavours, and the applications it builds are also compatible with those older versions.
If you follow the link from my previous post, you'll find several versions of Express to download. There is one that indeed works on Windows 8 only, but then there is one called "Windows Desktop" which is the one you probably want:

This is the 3rd time I have to refer to this post to set up for VS2012.
Upgrading upp will erase the build method. This time I'll make sure that I copy the bm file to a safe place.
|
That has happened to me a few times as well. I'm finding myself using U++ more and more, across all computers I have access to, so I need to re-create the VS11 options over and over. For everyone's convenience, here's a zip file with the MSC11 and MSC11x64 .bm files with the default options (as they appear in the first post).
Just unzip them in your upp folder (where your theide.exe resides).

After some tests, the MSC 2012 do not seem to work fully well with TheIDE; for instance, it does not debugg correctly.
|
I have tried the debugger again with VS 2012 and it seems to work. I can set breakpoints, examine the variables, evaluate expressions and step the program execution, which is all I personally ask from my debugger. All this from within theide. I am running VS 2012 Express SP1 and U++ rev 6001.

This topic is a bit obsolete now that there is "native" support for VS 2012 directly in U++; however, I have confirmed that the debugger still does not work in 64 bit version. Most likely, although I haven't looked at the code, it is trying to run the x64 debugger from a x86 executable, which AFAIK is not allowed.
File as bug?
