Using VS.NET and the gcc compiler.
Author
How do I do it? =) I'm getting
"c:\..\gcc is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file."
But it IS, I insist. I can invoke gcc from the command-line with no issues. Any thoughts?
Provide the full path?
Also, beware that the GCC command-line options are not the same as the CL command-line options, so just setting options from the VC IDE will not produce a command line that's understandable by GCC.

In the same place you would normally add include/library paths there is another option in the same drop down box for adding executable paths. Add the path to gcc, then just reference the executable as gcc.exe.

I apologize, I asked this question in a very vague and confusing way. I was trying to put together a make file that would build my program using gcc, and that was the error I was getting, which means I'm either grossly in error in the way I'm formulating the make file OR I'm grossly in error in the way I think VS.NET compiles things given a makefile.
That said, is there a way to set up a project to use an alternative compiler that doesn't involve making my own makefile?

I'd like to know what is wrong with using the VS project templates to make
a new project that compiles with the VS compiler.
If you dont want to do that, you can make a VS project.
Then exclude all files from the regular build, and force a custom build step on all files that calls gcc.
