INSTALL COMPILER
You only need to install the compiler if you want to develop Exodus programs on this computer.
(either) Download and Install Windows SDK
.NET Framework 4
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=187668
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=191420

NOT NEEDED: Samples, .Net Development, Common Utilities, Redistributable Packages
(or) Download and Install Visual Studio C++ Express
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9709959
Test Exodus Compilation
Open an Exodus Console and type "edic hello" to edit a new Exodus program called hello.
C:\Program Files\Exodus\11.5\projects>edic hello http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.1/nano.html 1=Normal Program, 2=External Subroutine or Function "hello" does not exist. Create what? (1-2) 1
#include <exodus/program.h>
programinit()
function main() {
printl("hello says 'Hello World!'");
return 0;
}
programexit()
Press Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X to save and exit. It should compile.
Troubleshooting
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Open a "Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt" and type your Exodus command there - or from any path since Exodus is installed in the global path.
hello.exe.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified.
Ignore the message about manifest.
Window hangs after editing saving a new program
