hello,
i am using visual studio 2010.
i have been given two files by my teacher. he asked us to compile, execute and see what the result would be.
i have to use cl -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE *.cpp
but then when i go the project via command window and execute the command it says:
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or file batch.
if you want i will post both the files but any idea to what i could be doing wrong?
Have you tried "cls" instead of "cl" ?
That's the only console command for Windows that begins with "cl", and since the program obviously works with CRT commands, it fits right in.
i didn't get error message after changing cl to cls.
I haven't had cause to use the command line when compiling with a Microsoft compiler in quite some time, but cl should be correct. cls should clear the screen instead.
You should either use the command prompt from within Visual Studio, or add the directory containing cl to the system path.
By the way, this is the C programming forum. You might ask a C++ specific question next, in which case it should go to that forum.
actually the files are written in c language but ya i get your point.Quote:

if you could please tell me how to add the path i would appreciate it ( on the command prompt, i am already inside the directory containing both the necessary files).
supposedly after the cl command is executed, an "exe" file should be generated.
:)
Then change the file extension to .cQuote:

Yes, you will be compiling the source code to an executable program.Quote:
