[great-users] GReAT Tool Run Interpreter Question

[Daniel Balasubramanian]

Hi Mark,

Currently, GReAT cannot be run without Visual Studio.  Every transformation has pieces of code which must be compiled, even if you are using the interpreter. (For example, the domain specific .h and .cpp files, along with any attribute mapping code, are compiled into a .dll that is used during the execution of the interpreter)

If you plan on getting Visual Studio, I suggest getting either VS .NET 2003, or maybe waiting for .NET 2005, because sometime in the near future, GReAT will no longer support Visual Studio 6. (However, GReAT does not yet support .NET 2005 because it is still a beta version, but it will be supported once it becomes an official release.)

I hope this helped, if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
Daniel

Subject:	[great-users] GReAT Tool Run Interpreter Question
Hello fellow GReAT users,

 

I am trying the run the GReAT tool and ran into a road block. Visual Studio (VS) is not yet loaded but I thought I could run the interpreter w/o installing the visual studio. 

 

After selecting File->Run Interpreter-> GReAT Master Interpreter

I get an error ‘Component Execution Failed’.

 

The GReAT manual mentions the code generator uses VS to speed up the generation of the executable. 

What parts of GReAT can I run w/o VS since I have not yet ordered VS? 

Any ideas? 

 

Thanks ahead of time for any of your assistance,

Mark
