cl.exe

I am using a batch file to try to build my cpp program using Visual Studio's cl.exe. This is what it contains:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" /I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include\" "%1" /Fe "%1.exe"

I want to the compiler to include iostream from the include folder and build my .cpp (%1) as %1.exe.

Instead, I get:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.60610.1 for x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

cl : Command line error D8003 : missing source filename

What am I doing wrong?

Win8.1 x64

Answer:

  • Get rid of the backslash at the end of the include path (...\...\include")

  • Do not surround %1 with quotes

  • no space between /Fe and ":

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" /I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include" %1 /Fe"%1.exe"

Do not run cl.exe from a standard command prompt. Use the "Developer Command Prompt" installed with VS 2015. This sets several environment variables for you, specific to your installation.
