Recently I decided to move from Microsoft Visual Studio to Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools. I am working with the latest Eclipse and want to utilize the Microsoft C++ compiler.
While having Microsoft Visual Studio installed there was an option to choose the Microsoft compiler in the tool-chain options which went away and I can't seem to get it back with Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools.
I have added the folders to user path and tried launching Eclipse from within the build tools "special" terminal but with no success.
Has anyone managed to achieve compilation within eclipse with the build tools and if yes how is it possible?
P.S.: I deliberately changed from Microsoft Visual Studio to Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools, as the difference in disk size is vast.
I have Eclipse 4.6 Neon. In Help > Install New software make sure you installed C/C++ Visual C++ Support. Restart Eclipse after installation.
I can see Microsoft Visual C++ in Toolchains now.

I am using Visual Studio for Mac 2022, and I am trying to create a C++ console application, does anyone know how to get those templates shows up when I choosing language?
Visual Studio for Mac is an IDE solely for .NET development.
If one looks at the Visual Studio website, it provides a comparison of the Mac and PC versions of Visual Studio. C++ development is not available for Visual Studio 2022 for Mac.
However, there exist many IDEs that support C++ development on Mac. Apple's very own Xcode allows the creation of C++ projects, as well as Visual Studio Code, a highly extensible code editor. CodeBlocks and CLion also exist as C++ IDEs for macOS.
Can I install standalone Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler on my Windows 8.1 x86 machine and how much data I need to download?
And how much data i need to download required files to install Visual Studio 2015 Build tools?
You can download the Build Tools without the IDE:
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159
Some details concerning the 2017 Build Tools:
These Build Tools allow you to build native and managed MSBuild-based applications without requiring the Visual Studio IDE. There are options to install the Visual C++ compilers and libraries, MFC, ATL, and C++/CLI support, and .NET and .NET Core support.
You can also follow the descriptions here: http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
can you please describe your question properly
According to your question
Yes you can install standalone Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler.

I am trying to use Microsoft visual studio IDE to run my c++ code, however, when I go to create a project, I do not see the option for a c++ project. I tried reinstalling the program to see if I could somehow install the package/extension however it just won't seem to come up.
The only templates that appear are in c# or f#.
If someone could please lead me into the right direction so that I can fix this, it would be great. Thank you.
I don't see any mention of C++ in the release notes.
According to this post on MSDN, there is no C++ support in the Mac version of Visual Studio. It contains links to instructions for using Visual Studio Code, as well as the option to install a VM running Windows.
Apparently Visual Studio Code supports C++ projects, since it can execute external tools. The Microsoft Visual C++ build tools are free for Windows, but I don't think there is a version for the Mac, so some other external compiler is necessary.
Is there a way to compile a Visual Studio 2012 project without having the VS installed? I need to compile C++ stuff for windows quite rarely and buying the product is not justified as there's no profit (community projects). In most of the cases the project and solution files will be available. If there's a way to compile the code with SDK, could you please share an example?
Thanks!
You can download visual studio express for free. Whenever you build a solution, the bin folder in your project folder will contain the compiled code.

EDITED: (per MS website)
Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop enables the creation of desktop apps in C#, Visual Basic, and C++, and supports Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms, and Win32.
Sign in to Visual Studio within 30 days with your Microsoft account to synchronize your settings across multiple machines and register your product.
Your best bet is likely going to be using msbuild which will allow you to build a solution or project without having Visual Studio installed.
If you have the free version VC++ Express installed (and thus the compiler toolchain), you might find it more interesting to use Eclipse CDT as IDE on top. At least the newer versions (I think since Helios) support using the native MS toolchain. You can import from native
VS projects also.
Eclipse is the more powerful IDE IMHO, and will additionally support other toolchains (either cross compiling, or Windows alternatives as MinGw GCC).
It looks like using Visual Studio 2010 it is possible to build against the 2008 runtime, if you have both editions installed: Can I use Visual Studio 2010's C++ compiler with Visual Studio 2008's C++ Runtime Library?
Is it possible to do this using just the free Windows Platform SDKs and VS 2010? Just to stress - installing Visual Studio 2008 is not an option.
Background: I'd like to build a Python module for Python 2.7. I have a copy of Visual Studio 2010, but Python 2.7 (specifically the Python(x,y) distribution) is built using 2008. Rebuilding Python, or rebuilding Python(x,y) is not something I want to get into (there are various other modules I want to use as well). My module needs to link against vendor-supplied libraries built using VS 2008/2010 (I've been given both sets of libraries). I don't own a copy of Visual Studio 2008, and I really don't want to have to buy one.
This MSDN article says that although you can change the platform toolset in the IDE you still need to have the VS2008 binaries installed.
I know you said installing 2008 was not an option but perhaps you can still find the free versions in an old SDK or even the Express version on the Microsoft website.
