I’ve been trying to build 0.10.4 on Windows using VS 2015 Update 3

Here is what I am running (from a VS developer prompt):

Its failed but the operation completed successfully!? I found the C code
its trying to compile and I can compile that manually without issue.
I don’t know enough about cmake to debug this – can anyone give me some
pointers?
I realize this is an old compiler but it was already installed so I was
trying to use it for some tests … I can upgrade but I would like to
avoid that if there is a simpler solution
Hi,
I am not a windows developer so I do not have much experience with
building with VS. The version 14 is not one of the latest so before
debugging further, I would try with some newer compiler. We are now
running a CI with VS 15 and it works just ok:
https://gitlab.com/libssh/libssh-mirror/-/jobs/3963003368
You can check how the libssh is built in the ci also in our gitlab
configuration to make sure all dependencies are installed on your side:
