The Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 contains the same compiler as VS.NET 2003: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/default.aspx
It doesn't include MFC or ATL however. What does the Visual C++ Toolkit install on my machine? The Toolkit installs (1) the Visual C++ command-line compiler and linker, and their dependencies, (2) the Visual C++ C Runtime Library and static-link modules, and the Standard C++ Library, including STL, (3) the Microsoft .NET Framework Runtime, including library files necessary for building C++ applications that run on the .NET Common Language Runtime, and (4) four samples demonstrating key features of the Visual C++ compiler and libraries. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Brad Wilson > Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 4:59 PM > To: NAnt Users > Subject: [Nant-users] Full C++ compiler & headers w/o > installing Visual Studio? > > > We don't have Visual Studio on our box, as we prefer to keep the box > as clean as possible.
