Installing Eiffel under Windows

Download Visual Studio 2017 Community or Visual Studio 2017 Professional from (MS Imagine) https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

https://webapp.eecs.yorku.ca/imagine/

2 - Run the Visual Studio 2017 installer - Select the Workloads to install. - Desktop Development with C++

3 - Download and install EiffelStudio 18.11 https://sourceforge.net/projects/eiffelstudio/

4 - Setup EiffelStudio to work with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ compiler You can set the environment variable ISE_C_COMPILER to msc_vc140

5 - Download Mathmodels - D/L from: svn export http://anonymous@svn.eecs.yorku.ca/repo … mathmodels - setup system environmental variable MATHMODELS that points where you download/saved Mathmodels

6 - Eiffel18.11 will attempt a precompile. Ensure that you have deleted all previous precompiles from before, before launching Estudio for the first time.

7. After compilation of a fresh ETF project, the GUI displayed and operated correctly.

8- For the command line, use a regular “cmd” window or the special Eiffel command line cmd. Execute in -i (interactive) mode normally. For batch mode redirect the output to a file. Under Windows, the result does not display at the command line – another terminal is opened and then closed. So use the redirection facility (“>”) and check your actual output in the redirected text file.

9 - I guess you can install python3 and run the regression scripts, but I did not try that.

10 - One can run linux under Windows10. Students have told me that running from the Linux terminal (under Windows10) but using the Windows compiles works in the regular way that we are used to in CentOS7 and MacOs. I have not tried that.
