Hi everyone!

In our lab we are working on vehicle networks with various controllers. As a result, we (so far) have to work with different MDEs for different PCs and microcontrollers. As you can imagine this is very inconvenient, not only because of all the different tools, but also because of the different quality/development supportof the tools.

Thus, our plan is to do the programming for all controllers in the Visual Studio 2008 environment and just use different compilers/configurations for each controller in the vehicle.

My question is how I can make Visual Studio use an external compiler for a specific project. For example, we want to program the Fujitsu MB91F465X controller with Visual Studio. Currently, we do the programming in VS, but start the Fujitsu compiler seperately to do the compilation. This is inconvenient as we have to tell the compiler again which files to use etc. - completely independent of VS.

It would be cool if someone had a clue how to do the integration.

Thanks,
Peter
