How to configure Textpad for Microsoft Visual C++ v.6.0

[mary steiner]

I didn't see any info on how to configure Textpad to Compile and Link a Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 file.

Here was my attempt:

Compile C++ Settings (Add…Program)
Command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\CL.EXE
Parameters: /I%MSVCDir%\INCLUDE $File
Initial folder: $FileDir
checkboxes: Capture Output, Sound alert when completed
Regular Expression: ^\([^(]+\)(\([0-9]+\)):
File: 1 Line: 2


It does compile and link, and the Run configuration is the same as for Borland, however I did get some warnings during the compile:

Can you help?

[ben_josephs]

Have you tried, er, specifying -GX (= /GX)?

Code: Select all

Parameters: /GX /I%MSVCDir%\INCLUDE $File

I tried the setup for Visual C++ 6.0, but I do not get good results for Visual C++.NET. I get "Tool completed with exit code 128". Any help would be greatly appricated.
