Visual Studio used to be my favorite IDE many years ago before it got so bloated it became a pain for me to use. I do not like applications that are not instantly responsive and that describes VS currently, to put it nicely. With that said, I have not used visual studio in a few years. Instead I use Visual Studio Code, which is completely different. Anyway, Visual Studio is not a friendly IDE when it comes to using anything other than Microsoft's C/C++ compiler. So, you're forced to know how, and write a plugin, or your forced to create, and use a make project within VS to use a gcc compiler. I've never written a plug in for VS for this purpose. It seems overly complex, and I really never wanted to deal with that. However, I have used custom compilers with VS through make file projects. I have to say that it can work 'ok', but it's not a complete solution. As for compiling remotely through VS . . . never used or even knew that feature existed. But I've seen a similar feature in Eclipse . . . But I have to ask. Why are you so determined to use an IDE anyway ? Are you afraid to learn how to use the toolchain you really should be learning to use ? IDEs make us lazy, less informed, and they also slow us down . . . there is a time and a place for IDE's but I honestly do not think this is one such situation. Especially when all you need to learn is how to execute gcc from the command line, and which cmd line switches to use. Seriously, it's not that hard. What feature does an IDE give you that you absolutely can not live without ? On Sun, Jul 3, 2016 at 9:56 AM, TJF <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi ivbsd1! > > Am Sonntag, 3.
