Building Using Visual Studio 2015

[rsb]

Hello,

I'm getting compile errors building version 3.0.2 with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\stdio.h(1927): fatal error C1189: #error: Macro definition of snprintf conflicts with Standard Library function declaration

Anyway to get around this error?

Thanks.

This has been long fixed in the master as well as in the 3.0 branch so you either need to update your wxWidgets or apply the fixes manually:

Thank you, that worked.

Do you have any documentation for building using CMake.

I had no problems building our application using CMake with Visual Studio 2010 but
now with Visual Studio 2015, it tells me it could not create named generator Visual
Studio 2015 Win64.

Thanks.

Disclaimer: I have only started playing with CMake just this week.

I have compiled wxWidgets master branch head with MSVC 2015 (Express for Desktop) in 64-bit mode with

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat"
set VisualStudioVersion=14.0

cd %WXWIN%\build\MSW

nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=debug COMPILER_PREFIX=vc14_x64

Please notice that I am using a custom COMPILER_PREFIX as have MSVC 2008 libs in my vc_* folders and MSVC 2015 x86 libs in vc14_* folders.

When I tried to create a project for my library with CMake-GUI 3.7.2 for "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" I also ended up with an error:

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "C:/Dev/Desktop/wxAutoExcel-build-vc14x64/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

From the error message it seemed obvious that CMake could not find wxWidgets which is understandable as I used a custom folder name for the libraries. So what I needed to make it work was to change the wxWidgets_LIBRARY_FOLDER variable in the CMake-GUI to my actual wxWidgets library folder.

Perhaps you need to do something similar, the error message (and log) provided by CMake should give you a hint.
