| Jun 4, 2014 at 14:36 | comment | added | ATG | I don't, mate, I'm afraid. My guess is that it would be buried in the "advanced" options of the Visual Studio installer, so, if you've got a copy to hand, you could try that. I've been Linux through-and-through for years now, though, so I might be completely wrong about that! | |

| Jun 2, 2014 at 20:54 | comment | added | ATG | I'm not sure, to be honest. I suppose it depends what Visual Studio mandates. If you can install the VC++ compiler separately, that is, without installing the full-blown Visual Studio, then you should be able to use this compiler within Eclipse. | |
| Jun 2, 2014 at 20:46 | comment | added | 3bdalla | I guess choosing VC++ compiler would work if Visual Studio is installed. well I don't want that. | |
| Jun 2, 2014 at 20:42 | comment | added | ATG | Ahh, I see. Well, given that in the Java version of Eclipse you can pick your Java compiler from those installed on the system, I'd be surprised if the same can't be done in the C++ one. | |
| Jun 2, 2014 at 20:38 | comment | added | 3bdalla | I used netbeans and it is good, but could not use VC++ compiler and libraries with it, that's what I mean by similar. | |
