How to install roslyn compiler for vs2017?
I am getting error for the missing file on c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Roslyn\Microsoft.CSharp.Core.targets

In order to compile an app with cl cpp compiler in the command line on previous versions of Visual studio I ran the vcvars64.bat script and then compiler worked as expected.
I have recently installed Visual Studio 2019. I have found vcvar64.bat script at the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build.
But running this script doesn't make cl compiler work. Even simple 3 line cpp files fail compilation with silly errors like "stddef.h" file not found. Compiler works as expected if you are using it from IDE.
What do you need to do to make VS2019 cpp compiler work in command line?
In my visual studio 2019 installation stddef.h is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17763.0\ucrt. vcvars.bat should be adding this path to the INCLUDE environment variable.
Running the following might provide some hints:
set VSCMD_DEBUG=3
vcvars64.bat > out.txt
In my installation searching out.txt for call :GetWin10SdkDir comes to the section where the bat file is searching for a SDK directory. Hopefully there will be some error messages in there somewhere.
For reference these are the additional environment variables set by a working call to vcvars64.bat on my machine:

If all else fails a re-install of visual studio is likely to fix the issue.
First of all ,you should install either Visual Studio and the optional Desktop development with C++ workload, or the command-line Build Tools for Visual Studio.
Before you can build a C or C++ program on the command line, you must
verify that the tools are installed, and that you can access them from
the command line. Visual C++ has complex requirements for the
command-line environment to find the tools, headers, and libraries it
uses. You can't use Visual C++ in a plain command prompt window
without doing some preparation. Fortunately, Visual C++ installs
shortcuts for you to launch a developer command prompt that has the
environment set up for command line builds. Unfortunately, the names
of the developer command prompt shortcuts and where they're located
are different in almost every version of Visual C++ and on different
versions of Windows.
A developer command prompt shortcut automatically sets the correct
paths for the compiler and tools, and for any required headers and
libraries. You must set these environment values yourself if you use a
regular Command Prompt window.
If you get an error such as "'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file," error C1034, or error LNK1104 when you run the cl command, then either you are not using a developer command prompt, or something is wrong with your installation of Visual C++.
I suggest you could try to use Developer Command Prompt for VS directly. Please open the Start menu and choose All apps. Scroll down and open the Visual Studio folder (not the Visual Studio application). Choose Developer Command Prompt for VS to open the command prompt window.
For more details I suggest you could refer to the DOC:Walkthrough: Compiling a Native C++ Program on the Command Line
I installed Qt Creator with mingw and msvc2015 binaries.
To have the compiler fpr msvc2015 I installed VS 2017 community inkluding support for msvc2015.
However when I try to compile in Qt Creator I get the error
LNK1158 cannot run 'rc.exe'
What went wrong in the installation? Which files do I need to reinstal to fix this?
The PATH in QtCreator contains the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\amd64_x86;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\amd64;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86;
But the rc.exe is only in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17134.0\...
I ran to this problem too.
this is a compiler file problem which you probably using MSVC...
Change your compiler into MinGW if you have added it before from the button above the run button...
or if not try starting a new project and add into it
I need some help to set up clang on windows properly.
I have visual studios 2015 installed. And the Windows SDK.
I recently installed Clang, and ran a very basic hello world through it to make sure it's working correctly. And it gave me an error I can't make any sense out of.
Visual Studios will handle this just fine.
Here is the error output I've received from clang:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]
C:\Users\Leo>cd C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Sandbox
C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Sandbox>clang++ hello.cpp

C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Sandbox>
Line 1 in hello.cpp is just:
#include <iostream>
So this error isn't making sense to me.
Type echo %INCLUDE% at the command prompt. To see your INCLUDE path.
Check to make sure your INCLUDE environment variable isn't set to a path that contains a Visual Studio path. Probably will need to do the same for the LIBenvironment variable as well.
I recently got it to work correctly, and compile windows applications. Including Directx11 and Directx12.
Turns out you would need to build Clang under Visual Studios after generating a Cmake project. If you wish to default to 64bit, you need to specify the 64bit version of Visual Studios.
Once it's compiled, you need to run clang-cl under the VSbuild tools.
I've been trying to install Boost Libraries for 5 months now, yes very embarrassing, and currently this is the error I run into.
I am running this on Windows 7, 64 bit. Boost 1_59_0.
I used the Visual Studio 2013 x64 Native prompt to go to the boost directory and ran
bootstrap.bat
and then
b2 --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete architecture=x86 address-model=64 stage
However I get the error
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Following this, I ran
vsvarsall amd64
from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC
I went back and tried running b2 again but I got the same error as before.
I searched for "cl.exe" on my laptop and I found it here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\x86_arm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64_arm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64_x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\x86_arm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin
I understand that 'b2' is unable to find 'cl' and I have to give the 'path' to the 'cl.exe' but I don't know how to set path, what to type where etc. I thought that 'vsvarsall' was supposed to fix this but it didn't.
Please help.
EDIT 1:
I set path following the instructions given in the comments, but I am still getting the same errors.
In your log, you have a number of calls to "C:\Users....\b2_msvc_12.0_vcvarsall_amd64.cmd". This is a file that caches the environment that VC needs. Could you try deleting it, in case it got stale value from older version?
You need to make sure that you run vsvarsall.bat and in the same cmd window run bootstrap and b2. Since the env variables are only set for that shell. Otherwise add the paths set by vsvarsall.bat manually in environment variables for the system.
You can search your control panel to find where to set environment variables, or hit the windows key and type in environment variables. You will get a shortcut to the window for those settings.
I have upgraded visual studio from 2010 to 2013. I've downloaded GLUT source code distribution from here. In the instructions,
To build the glut dll:
First, open Microsoft Developer Studio.
Then, select File -> Open Workspace and find the glut.dsw file
in the file dialog and double-click on it.
Finally, select Build -> Build glut32.dll.
When the build is finished, it will copy:
glut32.dll to %WinDir%\System,
glut32.lib to $(MSDevDir)\..\..\VC98\lib, and
glut.h to $(MSDevDir)\..\..\VC98\include\GL.
There is no folder named VC98. GL folder is located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\gl
As a result, I can't build glut.dll. It throws out the following message
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(132,5): error MSB3073: The command "copy C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\glut-3.7.6\lib\glut\Debug\glut32.dll %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(132,5): error MSB3073: copy C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\glut-3.7.6\lib\glut\Debug\glut32.lib "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\..\..\VC98\lib"

How can I build glut dll successfully?
Those error messages are caused by a Post-Build Event.
You can safely ignore these.
You will find the dlls in glut-3.7.6\lib\glut\ under Debug and Release.
