Using Zeus with Visual C++ 2010 solutions (*.sln)?

[craig.martell]

ALL:

I am new to Zeus, but all of the great comments have made me excited about trying it. I currently use VC++ 2010 but want an editor I can configure more to my liking.

I am able to open a VC++ 2010 solution file, and all of the files are included. The problem comes when I try to build to solution. I get the following error:

c:\Path to Solution called Templates\Templates.vcxproj (3,14): error MSB4066: The attribute "Label" in element <ItemGroup> is unrecognized.

It compiles fine in both Visual Studio and Slickedit.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

I currently use VC++ 2010

FWIW I use VC++ to build and debug Zeus but I do most of my coding inside of Zeus.

but want an editor I can configure more to my liking.

If you want to configure Zeus for Windows C/C++ development at a minimum I would recommend:

1) Configuring the Quick Help for the MSDN: http://www.zeusedit.com/zforum/viewtopic.php?t=2833

2) Setting up Quick Help for any other third party libraries you may use: http://www.zeusedit.com/zforum/viewforum.php?f=7

3) Setting up the code templates to match you coding style: http://www.zeusedit.com/zforum/viewtopic.php?t=40

But that is just the start since there are lots of ways to tweak Zeus

Any ideas?

Luckily, the setup required to get Zeus to work with VC++ should be fairly easy.

Here is a link that descrides the two steps required to make this work: http://www.zeusedit.com/zforum/viewtopic.php?t=2707

PS: These instructions should work, but please let me know if you find they don't help or if you run into any other issues getting VC++ working from inside of Zeus.

Excellent! That worked great. I will now start exploring how to make Zeus work best for me!!
