Question

I'm trying to set C++ compiler for IBM DataStage ETL tool. I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (x64) for my Windows Server 2008 R2. The DataStage guide says that

Visual Studio .NET 2008 Express Edition C++:

Set the LIB environment variable to the location of the library directory for the SDK. For example, for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008 Express Edition C++, a typical location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib.

Set the INCLUDE environment variable to the location of the include directory for the SDK. For example, for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008 Express Edition C++, a typical location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include.

I can find the Lib folder from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\

but not the Include folder. Where it is located? There is also these kind of folders under

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0

What are the right folders for LIB and INCLUDE Environmental variables?

Was it helpful?

Solution

There should be a link installed on your start menu to run a visual studio command prompt (probably under the visual studio express folder in the menu). If you run that it should set up a command prompt window with those already set correctly.

So you can either use that or at least look what they should be set to.
