Visual Studio 2017

[Josh]

I am working on upgrading our lib to VS2017.

 

Your existing projects will need the following changes.

 

Add $(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath) to your header search paths.

 

Add $(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath_x86) to your library search paths.

 

More as I discover it.

To install, select Desktop C++ development and check the Windows XP option if you wish to support Windows XP.

 

You DO need the WIndows 10 (or 8) SDK for the engine to compile, it has basic Windows components.

Wait, I thought Leadwerks doesn't work on XP? It does with new VS or you are talking in general?

[Josh]

It's not listed in the supported platforms, but it might work.

Additional dependencies:

vcruntimed.lib

ucrtd.lib

 

Remove the "d" at the end for release builds, I think.

I am having a hard time to compile anything in the VS2017, reinstalled did a repair and I am still getting this error even with simple hello world code.

 

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(253,5): error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515

I get this link error with beta:

 

Leadwerks.lib(window.win32.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__GradientFill@24 refe

renced in function "public: void __thiscall Leadwerks::Window::DrawRect(int,int,int,int,int,int)" (?Dra

wRect@Window@Leadwerks@@QAEXHHHHHH@Z)

 

Linked the right libraries i think.

Directory for libs C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.14393.0\ucrt\x86

 

Any idea ?

I fixed my problem, there was an old CL.exe in my Syswow64 folder.

[Josh]

They put the wow in sys!
