C compiler interaction in Developer's Studio

[arizona78]

Have recently begun development of a DOS legacy FORTRAN & C system using Visual FORTRAN in conjunction with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

When I try to compile the C portion in Developer Studio of CVF, it uses the existing WATCOM C/C++ compiler to attempt to compile instead of the Microsoft Visual C compiler.

I've tried locating, in the documentation, where you specify the C compiler to be used, but am either blind or haven't come across it.

Appreciate any help...
Thanks

The Visual Studio 98 environment CVF uses doesn't know about your Visual Studio.NET installation and can't use it. You'll need to compile the C code in a separate project in VS.NET and link it with your Fortran code using the VS.NET linker.

There is no place you specify the C compiler to be used - this is part of the C compiler installation - but I'm guessing that it's somehow finding a cl.exe in one of the directories listed at Tools..Options..Directories..Executable files.

Thanks, you hit the nail on the head with that one.

I'm wondering if I go back and install VS 6.0 Visual C, if it will find that compiler. I only have Source Safe installed from VS 6.0.

Thanks again...
