C++ compiler path to be set for windows installation

Post by arnabdey »

Hi

I have installed .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 2003. Prior to this I installed DataStage Server. What is the value I should assign to variables like APT Compiler Path, APT Linker Path, APT Compiler Option, etc. Is there any other setting I need to do to get the C++ compiler working?

Thanks
Arnab

These environment variables need to specify the location where YOU installed the compiler.

I don't think you can use a .NET Framework 3.5 compiler with datastage. The only officially supported compiler for Datastage 7.5x2 (only version of DS on windows in the 7x series) is the compiler which comes with Visual Studio 2003.

And leave the values of the compiler settings in the administrator to default, and Just restart your server after you install Visual studio 2003 that should setup everything.

Hope it helps :)

Can anyone please reply me what are the exact settings of these environment variables in Windows 2003 Server (and if possible in Windows XP)?

Thanks

Hi,

To set the Environment variables you need to log onto the Administrator. Log onto the Administrator, Select the Project->Properties-> Environment Variables. Over here Select Parallel and point the variable APT_COMPILER to the location where you have the C++ compiler

The end of this post may be useful. It provides some links to the documentation and some pitfalls where newer links take you to the wrong downloads.
