Windows – Configure conemu with Visual Studio command prompt variables

command lineconemuwindowwindows xp

I have searched and searched and got nothing. Please let me know how can I use conemu as a Visual Studio command prompt replacement. I mean how can I add the variable in the vcvarsall.bat to a conemu session without actually going to that directory again and again. There has to some kind of shortcut. How can I achieve that. Please help.

Not quite sure, what is the problem. If you want to run VC build prompt in ConEmu tab - just set up your Task or Startup Command line to something like this

cmd /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

If you want to get shortcut - run something like

"C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu.exe" /cmd cmd /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

Type in existing cmd prompt

cmd -new_console

and press Enter. Also you may create hotkey/macro for this sequence, for example AppsN -->

print("cmd -new_console\n")

or create cmd-file or doskey alias.

Variant 2

Use menu item Duplicate root.... It will make a copy of your most parent (root) shell of the current tab (where you are calling menu item). Also you may disable duplicate confirmation in the Settings \ Confirmation.

Variant 3

With latest versions (from 140818) you also may use %CD% environment variable within Shell() GuiMacro function. How to set up your shell described here.

Shell("", "cmd", "", "%CD%")
