using CCCC on Windows XP with Visual studio 2010

Question

I am trying to use CCCC(C and C++ Code Counter) on a windows machine.I did not have Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 but Visual Studio 2010 installed on my machine. So,to get around the problem of creating the Windows installer on my box,I downloaded a Windows based installer from codeplex for CCCC. Now,when I try to get the xml reports for the C++ files,they don't have anything in them. I think I need to associate the correct compiler with CCCC. There is very little help for using CCCC on Windows available over the net. I believe this would be very trivial for someone who would have used CCCC on Windows. Any thoughts anyone? I am really hoping someone can guide me here.Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I've run CCCC on Windows:

1. cd <root_directory_of_source_tree>

2. run dir /b /s | c:\cccc\cccc.exe -

3. report is published: <root_directory_of_source_tree>\.cccc\cccc.xml

I do not recall any special configuration I had to do for the Microsoft compiler. Hope that helps.
