VS2005 Command Line interface

cyberclops · Post by **cyberclops** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 2:18 pm

Please forgive me if this is covered elsewhere. I did a lot of searches but could not find anything pertaining to what I would like to do.

I am developing a product using C/C++ for which the end customer has settled on Visual Studio 2005. I am able to build on my Mac with GNU tools for development and testing but deliverables must be built with VS2005.

I am currently using VMWare Fusion but have moved to invoking DEVENV directly from the command line and no longer use or need the full blown IDE.

I am looking for a way to get DEVENV from VS2005 to run under Wine (again the IDE IS NOT needed or wanted).

Is there a way to do this? How do I set it up?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

If you are building c++ applications that do not use .NET this is
likely to work. To get you started winetricks can install vs2005
trial. I recommend you trying that first.

This does however install the IDE. I am not sure even in windows if
there is an easy way to install just the compiler and toolchain.

In the end I need to archive the environment so that the build can be reproduced on my machine later or on other team member's machines. Perhaps there is a way to pare it down once it is installed.

How does one go about starting afresh with Wine? I have tried a few things already and would need to roll them back.
