Question

Hello, I installed jam.exe and VC++ express edition. In building under windows the GPSTk.org site says that i have to open the command prompt and give the path of VSVAR32. I am doing this on Vista and My path is as follows "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\common7\tools\vsvar32" and pressed enter.....however it says "The system cannot find the path specified". I also tried on Win XP and here's what it says.... C>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat" Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 tools. (If you have another version of Visual Studio or Visual C++ installed and wish to use its tools from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for that version.) After this I typed cl and enter....it then says 'CL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am lost.Please guide me step by step coz i donot know what i should do. If u cannot answer it completely here u can mail me at kashyapsa@gmail.com Thanks, Pradeep

Pradeep, Are you sure it is vsvar32 and not vsvars32? If there are blanks in the path name, you may have to enclose the command in quotes If this doesn't work you should search for the file and find the exact name and path. Review the documentation on the gpstk web site about installing under windows. I know of no reason for it to fail under Vista. Good luck, Brian
