Hi Koldo,

Not sure if this helps, but I tested the VS2017 BuildTools by duplicating the build method I already had for VS2017 community edition (which was automatically generated by theide). Then I just renamed it and changed the include, lib and bin folders to point at BuildTools instead of the VS community.
Tom

BTW, could you post that .bm here? Just to get me started...

Hi Koldo and Mirek,

I had already trashed that installation, but I reinstalled the Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools and reconfigured TheIDE with a suitable BM. Please find it attached. Also, note that this is a 32-bit BM. It uses debugger from the parallel Visual Studio 2017 Community installation because I think there is none included with Build Tools installation.

Best regards,

Tom

Thank you Mirek. This is my BM.

Thank you Tom. A difference with your MSVC install is that your is under c:/program files and mine is under C:\Program Files (x86). Maybe is your OS 32 bits?

Hi Koldo,

You are absolutely right. I made it under Windows 10 Pro 32 bit.

Please note that current U++ can auto detect the VS2017 Community installation, while it cannot auto detect VS2017 Build Tools installation at this time. I have a strong feeling that this will change pretty soon now since Mirek indicated interest in this. I think the compiler is exactly the same, but Build Tools lacks debugger and IDE compared to a full VS2017 Community installation. (So installing VS2017 Community already includes everything needed and is also readily auto detected with current U++.)

Best regards,

Tom

I see MS are as bad as ever with consistency and their naming schemes. I have not yet bothered with 2017, but I guess I need to install it.

A bit of a pain since I use and regularly test for MSC10, MSC12 and MSC15. Now I'll have MSC17 too Smile

Hi Koldo,

I just took a closer look and found that your MSC17x64.bm file also had PATH and LIB references pointing at VS2017 Community. Only INCLUDE was pointing to BuildTools. This may explain if you had issues with your BM when trying to use BuildTools instead of Community.

Best regards,

Tom

Thank you Tom, you are right!

The only problem is that I have not found any devenv.exe under Microsoft Visual Studio\2017.

However TheIDE seems to compile and debug Smile

Perfect.

In my case, with BuildTools, _MSC_FULL_VER reports
- 191025019 for MSC17x64
- 190023026 for MSC15x64

Hi,

I can confirm that the 64 bit TheIDE 11218 correctly autoconfigured both x86 and x64 build methods for VS 2015, VS 2017 and BT 2017. This was on Windows 10 Pro 64.

Thanks and best regards,

Tom

Well I can't confirm it on my home PC but I can confirm it on my work PC.

But I have to say my setup at home is a bit lets say "special" Laughing

Windows 10 64bit is installed on C:\
Visual Studio 2017 Community is installed on a secondary SSD (E:\Programs\Visual Studio 2017 Community)
Finally U++ is unzipped on another secondary HDD (D:\Programs\U++\upp)

When I start TheIDE the first time you see for a short time that it is doing sth about build methods but then continues and nothing is created. When I tried installing the new nightly at work today this was longer and the correct .bm files were created.

So I guess the installer just can't connect my 3 drives Sad

Or is it windows and the methods from the WinAPI which are getting called? (I did not take a deeper look inside the files so I can't tell)

Can someone upload a newly created MSVS2017.bm/MSVS2017x64.bm for me so I can set the paths correct?

Daniel

Thanks for the files. But it does not work. TheIDE tells me when I try to compile:

c:\program files (x86)\windows kits\10\include\10.0.15063.0\um\winsock2.h (882): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'qos.h': No such file or directory

There is no file 'qos.h' in the folder c:\program files (x86)\windows kits\10\include\10.0.15063.0\um. Should it be there?

And another thing: In your MSVS17x64 there is this line:

PATH = "...;c:/program files (x86)/windows kits/10/bin/x86;...;

Shouldn't it be:

PATH = "...;c:/program files (x86)/windows kits/10/bin/x64;...;

Hi,

The files I uploaded are just the ones my U++ installation have auto-created on my platform. I wouldn't necessarily expect them to work on your system without modification. I just uploaded them for you as a template. If you find similar paths on your system, you can then tune these files accordingly to match your system configuration.

I have no knowledge of the automatic build method generation, so I cannot help on that part. Certainly having unusual installation paths can affect such code.

The reference to x86 in the PATH does not appear to cause any trouble on my 64-bit system. The reason for it is unknown to me.

I wish you the best of luck!

Best regards,

Tom

Ok I found the problem. Somehow in the include folder of the newest windows sdk (c:/program files (x86)/windows kits/10/include/10.0.15063.0/...) some files are missing (qos.h is one of them). So I guess your files are working (thanks for giving me them) but I have to check my visual studio for updates or repairing my sdk.

Ok the problem was my VS2017. It wasn't up to date with the newest Win10 SDK. Working perfectly fine now.

Hello,

today I have installed U++ 11300 and VS2017 community on a 64 bit machine with windows 7.
I looked for a bm file because my theide was not able to produce one via automatic build method setup.
Then I used your MSVS17x64.bm file but I had to rename it MSC17x64.bm to avoid an "invaild build method".
Not it seems to compile as usual.

However it didn't produce an exe file. Surprised

It stopped at processing a .rc file.
Reading the forum I have understood my installation has not the rc.exe program, so I missed to download something.
Does anybody know (see picture) what have I to download to have a U++ working setup.

Thanks,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,

I think you will require this additionally.

That is correct. You need the Win10 SDK. But you can select it in the VS installer directly. If you can't find it on the first tab. Search it in the single components tab and select it.
