Visual Studio C++ compiler under Eclipse [message #1819708]

Hello!

I'd like to use Eclipse, however my project has some external dependencies compiled in VS, and I just couldn't get it linked to GCC. Therefore, I would like to use the VS compiler under Eclipse.

I had problems since the beginning, but managed to specify the "include" folders so that there are no missing .h files. However, now I get a very dubious "cl : Command line error D8003 : missing source filename" error, which as far as I understood could be solved by changing the order of the arguments of cl.exe. I gave up after 1 hour of trying.

Is there a list of things I need to configure in order to this to work? Could someone give me some tips what to configure in Eclipse settings?

PS: I've seen another topic with the same problem, but it was from 2010, and it also didn't have any specifics on what to do.

The error message is peculiar to cl.exe.
It seems to commonly occur with mismatched quotes on the command line.
Suggest googling the error for a solution.
