Difficulties with “cl.exe” (command line compiler from VisualStudio) and header files?

First of all, be sure to set up the environment by calling one of the batch files that come with Visual Studio, i.e. Vsvars32. Bat found in your Visual Studio folder under Common7\Tools.

During installation, there is usually also a start menu entry created which opens a console and executes the setup script. This will make sure environment variables are set up properly and the compiler and linker has access to header files, libraries, tools are on your path etc.

There is no visual aspect of Visual Studio. It's just a name. All C++ programs are compiled with cl.exe.

The C++ compiler has no knowledge of any visual anything - it's just a brand. Cl. Exe can only be invoked from within Visual Studio, however.

It is not a command line compiler.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
