Setting up a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET C++ compiler
For Microsoft Visual Studio .NET compilers, set LIB and INCLUDE environment variables before you create and run parallel jobs.
About this task
Procedure
- Install the compiler. For information about supported compilers, see the system
requirements at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27047977.
For more information about compiler installation, see your Microsoft documentation.
- Within Microsoft
Windows, set the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to
the appropriate locations for your compiler version. The following tables show examples of what to
set for the 2010 and 2015 versions of Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Express® Edition C++: The version number in the path (
Table 1. Environment variables to set for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 Express Edition C++ Environment variable Setting LIB Set to the location of the 32-bit library directory for the software development kit (SDK). For example, for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 Express Edition C++, a typical location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib. INCLUDE Set to the location of the 32-bit include directory for the software development kit. For example, for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 Express Edition C++, a typical location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include. v7.0A
in the previous examples) might vary based upon the latest updates to the compiler.Table 2. Environment variables to set for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2015 or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2015 Express Edition C++ Environment variable Setting LIB Set to the location of the 32-bit library directory for the software development kit (SDK). For example, for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2015 Express Edition C++, a typical location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\x86. INCLUDE Set to the location of the 32-bit include directory for the software development kit. For example, for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2015 Express Edition C++, a typical location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt. Note: The LIB and INCLUDE environment variable names must be specified in uppercase characters. - Restart the computer for the environment variable settings to take effect.
