gcc2vs

A simple program to convert error messages from gcc to a Visual Studio compatible format.

Installing

From an MSYS2 / MinGW64 shell, type:

$ git clone https://github.com/jwt27/gcc2vs.git
$ cd gcc2vs/
$ make install

Using

Set up a makefile project in Visual Studio, which calls make from within an MSYS2 shell. In your makefile, pipe all output from gcc through gcc2vs:

  %.o: %.cpp
      g++ -o $@ $^ 2>&1 | gcc2vs

You can also pipe the entire make command through gcc2vs. In that case you must invoke gcc with absolute paths to your source files.
