Re: Using alternative compilers/linkers in .net

Sign up for the VSIP program at Microsoft (it's free). That will give you access to the Visual Studio SDK and the VSIP forums.

You will basically have to create a Visual Studio package that contains a new project type for the solution. I am pretty sure that you will be able to reuse much of the editing IDE functionality.

The SDK has numerous examples on these topics including integrating with compilers.


Just so you know, the VS IDE is nothing more than a shell (in a similar fashion to the Eclipse IDE) and the packages add functionality to it.

Hi,

(please redirect me if I'm posting in the incorrect forum)

Is there a way to use alternative compilers/linkers in .net (2005)?

Presently, I use Keils uVision, Metrowerks Codewarrior, MS Embedded
Visual C 4.0, and the .Net IDE to maintain very similar projects
containing c++ code. I.e., there are four different platforms that
generate four different libraries of the same code.

My question is then: Is it possible to use the .net IDE to compile for
all platforms? (Use Keils C166.EXE/L166.EXE and so forth instead of
the microsoft compiler/linker)

Yours,
HaraldW
