How to change default compiler from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2008 in Rational Rhapsody

Question & Answer


Question

How do you configure Microsoft Visual Studio (VS) 2008 compiler in IBM Rational Rhapsody?

Cause

Your Rational Rhapsody by default is configured to VS 2010 and you want to configure VS 2008.

Answer

There are two ways to configure VS 2008 compiler in Rational Rhapsody :

  • Modify CPP_CG::MSVC::IDEVersion property to set the value VC9 and Build Framework.

    OR

  • Configure Rational Rhapsody with the VS 2008 compiler by modifying the factoryC++.prp property file which is present in <Rhapsody installation folder>\share\Properties location.

    In factoryC++.prp "IDEVersion" is the variable, which needs to be modified with value VC9.
