Visual Studio 2015 Compile

[wazahuis]

Hi,

Can we have updated instructions on how to compile with the most recent versions as VS 2010 is very old: (as I have VS 2015 already installed on my system)

Windows 10 (x64)
Visual Studio 2015
QT 5.7

I tried with VS 2015, downloading latest Java x32, QT 5.7 x32, cmake 3.6.2 x32. GIT appears to be already installed on my system.

However I get the following
-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (project):
No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (project):
No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Did you change the cmake generator?
It will need to be cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"

There might be breaking changes so its not as simple as updating the instructions.
I suggest checking out this stackoverflow answer to get a link to download VS2010 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3061811/how-to-get-download-link-to-vs2010-express-for-use-in-a-download-manager

Thanks so much for the reply. No "Visual Studio 14 2015" option still came up with same error. I was hoping to use an existing VS2015 to avoid installing a new VM for this (don't want to corrupt my VS2015 dev environment) so...

Anyway I created a new machine Windows 10 (x64) machine with those instructions. One difference I noted is " QMake path e.g C:\QtSDK\bin" but QT default installs to C:\QT\Qt5.2.1. so I assume the path should point to: C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\msvc2010\bin

Anyway I have done as per the instructions but fails....

C:\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..\webodf

Thats a generated file from memory, I would see if the step to generate it ran correctly here https://github.com/kogmbh/WebODF/blob/master/webodf/CMakeLists.txt#L8

I don't have a working build of this myself so you may have to do further debugging of these dependencies on your own.
