MSVC Community 2017

[HezkoreParticipant]

I’m having some problems getting Monkey 2 to compile with the newer MSVC stuff.

I’ve got this installed:

I grab Monkey 2 from the Github development branch.
I edit ‘env_windows.txt’ and change ‘MX2_USE_MSVC=1’ along with ‘MX2_ARCH_WINDOWS=x64’
Then I run ‘rebuildall2go.bat’
And then I get error:

So okay, it doesn’t find “cl” apparently.
I have a look at ‘MX2_MSVC_PATH_X64’ in ‘env_windows.txt’ and it points me to:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\bin\Hostx64\x64”
Which looks like this for me:

And “cl.exe” IS there.
I’ve checked all the other MSVC paths too, like “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10” and they all seem to exist as well.

What am I doing wrong?

In the end, I’d like to make this portable so I don’t have to install and go through this on every machine I use.
And I’m wondering, does Monkey 2 actually check the ‘env_windows.txt’ path for ‘cl.exe’, or does it just call the command ‘cl.exe’ which uses “PATH” or something?

Please post your env_windows.txt file.

I think I’ve managed to get it working… It’s still compiling so not sure, but the ‘cl.exe’ error isn’t showing up at least.

What I did was compile it once without MSVC, which got me the new “mx2cc_windows.exe” compiler.
And after that, MSVC seems to compile just fine.
