How do I invoke a C++ compiler from a running program

Greetings & Kind Regards For a current project I require compiling C++ source via an invocation from a running C++ program for the purpose of determining if any C++ source files from a list of such files upon being altered by the program will still compile w/o error. The only way I know to invoke another program is via a call to system() e.g. system("compiler.exe target_C++_file.cpp"); However the compiler being invoked via the system() call is that from Visual Studio and requires a special Command Line Window specially prepared in some manner otherwise the system() call w/ compile argument fails. Therefor I seek advice on how to proceed i.e. to wit is there a C++ compiler which does not require a specially prepared Command Line Window or can the Visual Studio Developer's Command Prompt be invoked in some manner from within a running program and so execute the compiler from within it or of course some other solution to my problem. Thank You Kindly

What I have tried:

Attempted invoking batch file which invokes Visual Studio Developer's Prompt but it is amazingly complex and requires certain arguments which I do not know of. Duplicated all environment variables set by Visual Studio Developer's Prompt prior to invoking compiler invoked by system() but did not solve problem. Examined Boost compiler but according to site it requires same "Developer's Prompt".
