Build it with Visual Studio 2017?

[Guest078]

Is it possible to build the solution with Visual Studio 2017?

If yes can anyone post a step-by-step tutorial, how to do this?

E.g. I'm on Windows 10 and I have installed the SDK 10.0.15063.0 (latest)

When I open the .sln the first time, VS aks if the projects should be retargeted
In my case, I have two options for
Windows SDK Version: 10.0.14393.0 and 10.0.15063.0
Platform Toolset: Upgrade to v141 and No upgrade

[x] ..\lib_pcre\lib_pcre.vxproj
[x] ..\ahkdll-alpha\AutoHotkey.vcxproj

Which options to choose? and when done, which paths need to be added to
Include Directories
and
Library Directories

in AutHotkey's Properties (in VC++ Directories)

Anything else, that must be done to build it properly?

you can try this thread:

I've followed that tutorial and additionally added

Code: Select all

$(VCInstallDir)Tools\MSVC\14.10.25017\include
$(WindowsSdkDir)Include\10.0.15063.0\shared
$(WindowsSdkDir)Include\10.0.15063.0\ucrt
$(WindowsSdkDir)Include\10.0.15063.0\um

To the Include Directories in VC++ Directories for the AutoHotkey project
so that it doesn't complain about not finding a few header files

But when trying to build the solution I get this:

Code: Select all

A file named LIBCMT.lib doesn't exist on the system...

Hi, i tried the same. Use "Win 10 SDK 10.0.14393.0" and it will work. I did not find a solution for the newer win update, but i will update my tutorial, if i found one.
