With the hope of getting trained for C++ as a zero newbie, I was following directives to create a C++ dev environment on a PC equipped with Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
I create a new C++ project on VS 2015 CE
When I right-click project properties, I cannot locate C/C++ > Preprocessor - it's just not there as can be seen from the screenshot.
So trying to figure out how on Earth I can add some custom preprocessor definitions here. :-(
Add at least one .cpp
or .c
file to your project (or, more generally, an item with ItemType "C/C++ Compiler").
A desired entry will appear in Project Property Pages (exactly where you expect it to be):
Configuration properties -> C/C++
There will be subentry "Preprocessor".
Alternatively, you may create a project of type
Visual C++ -> Win32 -> Win32 Console Application (or, more general, Win32 Project)
This type of projects already contains C++ files with some simple code.
