Hi,
I just set up a new computer with Windows 11 and Visual Studio Build Tools 2022. It seems that TheIDE is not yet capable of detecting the compilers and tools (2017, 2019 and 2022) that come with this release.
Could these be added to the automatic setup of build methods?
Best regards,
Tom

lib = df.Get("/windows kits/10", "um/x86/kernel32.lib");
for unknown reason, vc is empty even when I am sure I have vs community 2022 installed in default location.
Also, can we make it smarter? the directory structure is quite stable across versions: they seems to differ by the year number. Ideally we can assume future version will not break the tradition until it does. That way we don't need to modify source code every time VS has a new version.

Lance wrote on Sun, 19 December 2021 16:54Pasted code is a bit messy. here is screenshots of changes I made. Not that I think what I have done will be helpful, I am just curious why it doesn't work.
Lance,
I had to tamper with the builder too to add MSC22 and MSC22X64 build methods. Please merge the files I posted above, add your VS_2022 code just ahead of BT_2022 and see if it works for VS.
Best regards,
Tom

It should be really easy, it might even be as easy as adding single line around ide/InstantSetup.cpp:237 (with new enum constant for 2022)

Hi,
Yes, why not... now that you pointed out the correct spot within 400k lines of code. 
Best regards,
Tom
Most appreciated. Applying.
Is there a reason to exclude BT_2019 here:
ide/InstantSetup.cpp:357
bmSet(bm, "DEBUGGER", findarg(version, BT_2017, BT_2019, BT_2022) >= 0 ? String()
?

No reason. I have just misunderstood the findarg. Please fix my mistakes...

Hi Tom:
I could not get it work. But it's good to notice that MscBuilder.cpp also need to be revised.
Following is the lines that I have changed.
enum { VS_2015, VS_2017, BT_2017, VS_2019, VSP_2019, BT_2019, VS_2022, BT_2022 };
DirFinder df;
for(int version = VS_2015; version <= BT_2022; version++)
for(int x64 = 0; x64 < 2; x64++) {
String x86method = decode(version, VS_2015, "MSVS15",
VS_2017, "MSVS17", BT_2017, "MSBT17",
VS_2019, "MSVS19", VSP_2019, "MSVC19P",
BT_2019, "MSBT19",
VS_2022, "MSVS22",
BT_2022, "MSBT22",
"MSBT");
String x64s = x64 ? "x64" : "";
String method = x86method + x64s;
String builder = decode(version, VS_2015, "MSC15",
VS_2017, "MSC17", BT_2017, "MSC17",
VS_2019, "MSC19", VSP_2019, "MSC19", BT_2019, "MSC19",
VS_2022, "MSC22",
BT_2022, "MSC22",
"MSC22"
) + ToUpper(x64s);
......
if(version == VS_2015)
vc = df.Get("/microsoft visual studio 14.0/vc", "bin/cl.exe;bin/lib.exe;bin/link.exe;bin/mspdb140.dll");
else
vc = df.Get(decode(version, BT_2017, "/microsoft visual studio/2017/buildtools/vc/tools/msvc",
VS_2017, "/microsoft visual studio/2017/community/vc/tools/msvc",
BT_2019, "/microsoft visual studio/2019/buildtools/vc/tools/msvc",
VS_2019, "/microsoft visual studio/2019/community/vc/tools/msvc",
VSP_2019, "/microsoft visual studio/2019/professional/vc/tools/msvc",
VS_2022, "/microsoft visual studio/2022/community/vc/tools/msvc",
BT_2022, "/microsoft visual studio/2022/buildtools/vc/tools/msvc",
""),
x64 ? "bin/hostx64/x64/cl.exe;bin/hostx64/x64/mspdb140.dll"
: "bin/hostx86/x86/cl.exe;bin/hostx86/x86/mspdb140.dll");
Not sure what I have missed.
BTW, how do you develop IDE? I have to build it and overwrite my current \upp\theide.exe with newly generated one.
I installed VS Build Tools 2022, and could not get it work either. One interesting thing I noticed is that VS community is installed under "program files" while VS build tools 2022 is installed "program files (x86)". Not that it has anything to do with the problem I am having.

Hi Lance,
I might use a parallel upp installation in e.g. c:\upp2 for tinkering with theide. (However, I felt lucky enough to do it directly on my live copy...)
Did you remember to run menu "Setup > Automatic build methods setup" after restarting theide? Nothing else really comes to mind...
Best regards,
Tom

Hello Tom,
Could you add support for Visual Studio Professional? The only difference is the path (professional):
VSP_2022, "/microsoft visual studio/2022/professional/vc/tools/msvc",
It should be placed after VS_2022:
VS_2019, "MSC19", VSP_2019, "MSC19", BT_2019, "MSC19",
VS_2022, "MSC22", VSP_2022, "MSC22", BT_2022, "MSC22",
Klugier
U++ - one framework to rule them all.

Hi Klugier,
I'm afraid there is not much I can do in this case... I don't have the VS 2022 professional. Nor do I have commit rights, so it's probably best you add the lines, test it and either commit it yourself, if you have the rights or give it to Mirek to deal with, if you don't.
Best regards,
Tom

If you have it tested, why not PR?
