Trouble compiling with slice2cpp in Visual Studio on Windows

I am a beginner trying to compile a project using slice2cpp in Visual Studio on Windows. I have followed the official documentation but I am unable to successfully compile the project. I have encountered the following issues:

  • slice2cpp is not recognized as a valid command.

I have ensured ICE is installed, but Visual Studio is unable to find the required tools for compiling.

When trying to run symchk, I receive the message "SYMCHK: FAILED files = 0", indicating that no files were processed or no symbols were found.

Here are some steps I have already followed:

  • Set up ICE as described in the documentation.
  • Installed Visual Studio with the necessary C++ development tools.
  • Attempted running slice2cpp system.ice from the command line.
  • Checked settings and verified paths in Visual Studio for ICE
  • Tried using symchk to check symbols but the process failed.

I have also configured symbol servers in Visual Studio for debugging (as shown in the screenshots below).

Screenshots of my settings in Visual Studio:

Attempt to run symchk in PowerShell, but it shows no files being processed:

Can anyone help me figure out what I might be missing? Any tips or suggestions on how to successfully compile my project using slice2cpp in Visual Studio would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
