SSCLI 2.0 and Visual Studio 2008

  • Article

The currently available SSCLI 2.0 (Rotor) does not build successfully with Visual Studio 2008.   I've managed to make it build and I thought I'd share my changes.   Be very aware:

  1. I haven't done anything resembling thorough testing on these changes
  2. I made the changes so that it would build for me on my 32bit Vista machine
  3. I avoided changing source files, and focused on build files
  4. The warnings I disabled are pretty tame, see #3
  5. I tried to keep the changes to a minimum
  6. I know next to nothing about NMAKE
  7. I have no idea about any MS plans regarding SSCLI and VS2008
  8. This is does not constitute official support for building SSCLI in VS2008

\sscli20\mswin32.startup.pl

  1. change the if block that begins at line 41:

if (my $msvcdir = Get("MSVCDir")) {

    # These are the INCLUDE paths used during the primary bootstrap.

    my $winsdkdir = Get("ROTOR_WINSDKDIR");

    Set("SDK_INC_PATH_BOOT", catdir ($winsdkdir, "include"));

    Set("CRT_INC_PATH_BOOT", catdir ($msvcdir, "Include"));

    Set("SDK_LIB_PATH", catdir ($winsdkdir, "lib"));

    Set("CRT_LIB_PATH", catdir ($msvcdir, "lib"));

    Set("VC_BIN_PATH", catdir ($msvcdir, "bin"));

}

  \sscli20\win.env.bat

  1. change %VS80COMNTOOLS% on line 37 to %VS90COMNTOOLS%
  2. after line 42, insert the following:

REM Set the SDK path

if "%ROTOR_WINSDKDIR%"=="" set ROTOR_WINSDKDIR=%WindowsSdkDir%

if "%ROTOR_WINSDKDIR%"=="" set ROTOR_WINSDKDIR=%MSVCDIR%\PlatformSDK

call :ShortName "%ROTOR_WINSDKDIR%"

set ROTOR_WINSDKDIR=%RESULT%

Well there you have it.  Hopefully I didn't miss any of my changes or make too many typos.  I ran through these instructions on a clean install of SSCLI and was able to successfully build per the docs and compile and run HelloWorld.

    In my last post I got SSCLI compiling with the 2008 C++ compiler ( SSCLI 2.0 and Visual Studio 2008 ).

    I tried to compile SSCLI 2.0 with VC++ 2008 on Vista, and again, too many error messages, due to : -

    Thanks for the post! It worked perfectly on my Vista x64 machine (it built using a x86 target).

    以前build过几次sscli20都成功了，这次换了个新的环境build，没想到出了一大堆的问题。折腾了半天，最终搞定，把解决问题的过程和方法都记录下来。
