Need to build with Visual Studio 2015
Added by peter ritter almost 8 years ago
Hello
I tried to build the latest release candidate on Visual Studio 2015. The cmake ran fine. The visual studio project was generated. However, after I launching the 'build' the whole process seems to get stuck on 'Generating Code'. In the task manager I see a number of 'incremental compilers' working very hard, but after running them all night on a six core machine nothing had changed - still 'Generating code'.
Has anyone successfully built with Visual Studio 2015? Either this latest release candidate or the previous stable version? I really need this on Visual Studio 2015 because my code no longer compiles on VS 2013 due to lack of c feature support.
Any help appreciated!
Peter

hello,
I rebuild the 3.3.5 version project with Visual Studio 2015, I have not turned all modules but it works well.
I use visual 2015 upgrade 2.

Hi Patrick
Thanks for letting me know about your experience building with VS2015! I'm glad to hear that it can be done!
Did you build the whole solution all at once, or did you build each project separately? Did you build all projects including the tutorials or just the core ones starting with 'wt..' ? Would be good to know. Thanks!

Oh Patrick..
I forgot to ask - Did you build in 32 bit or 64 bit? We are trying to build in 64 bit.
Regards, Peter

Hey Peter,
Our build server (single core VM) just completed 32 and 64 bit builds for all supported msvs compilers (2010, 2012, 2013, 2015). This build of Wt, examples, tests, and all its dependencies (boost, openssl, mysql, postgresql, ...) took about 30 hours, so less than 4 hours per compiler/configuration.
I uploaded the binary builds to github:
https://github.com/kdeforche/wt/releases/tag/3.3.6-rc2
Best regards,
Wim.

Hello Wim
thank you very much for notifying me about this. We had managed to build eventually but it wasn't so straighforward, especially since we didn't quite know quite what to expect or how long compilation 'normally' takes. The boost related error also went away eventually.
Thank you very much, Peter
