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.

1. Install the compiler. For information about supported compilers, see the system requirements at www.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/info-server/overview/requirements.html. For more information about compiler installation, see your Microsoft documentation.
2. Within Microsoft Windows, set the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to the appropriate locations for your compiler version. The following table is an example of what to set for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 Express® Edition C++:

   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 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 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\Include.

   The version number in the path (v7.0A in the previous examples) might vary based upon the latest updates to the compiler.

   Note: The LIB and INCLUDE environment variable names must be specified in uppercase characters.
3. Restart the computer for the environment variable settings to take effect.
