Hi. (Sorry for not getting back right away. Work took some turns.)
BUILDING.md is where I am starting from. This is what I have done so far, and then I am blocked by build failures. md .build cd .build cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" cmake --build . --config Release The build fails. There are *168 *errors all basically the same, but from different files: 19>###HIDING###\grpc\third_party\boringssl-with-bazel\src\crypto\asn1\../internal.h(136,1): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdalign.h': No such file or directory I have sleuthed this to the point where I feel sure I am building with the wrong Windows SDK. 19>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17763.0\ucrt\corecrt_memory.h(76,5): warning C5105: macro expansion producing 'defined' has undefined behavior 10.0.17763.0 doesn't have stdalign.h. However, I have 10.0.22000.0 installed. This version does have 10.0.22000.0. And various things I have read on the web indicate that I need to use 10.0.22000.0 or later. So I am supposing that if I can induce grpc to build with Windows SDK 10.0.22000.0 I will solve this problem. *But how???* Thanks as always, Kevin On Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 4:34:57 AM UTC-5 Tony Newell wrote: > Instructions for building on Windows are here: > https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/v1.62.0/BUILDING.md > > How are you intending to use gRPC on Windows?
