New issue 357 by sinan.u...@gmail.com: Cannot build vim/gvim on Windows 8
with Visual Studio 2015
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=357
I have been building gvim/vim from source using Visual Studio 2013 tools
with no problems. Yesterday, I tried to do the same with Visual Studio 2015
RC tools, and for reasons beyond my understanding, the build is failing at
link stage with a failure to resolve standard C library functions.
As far as I can see, there is nothing in Make_mvc.mak that should not work
with the new tools (I manually set MSVCVER=12.0 on the command line before
invoking it).
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt
2. set include=%include%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include for win32.mak
3. set MSVCVER=12.0
4. nmake -f Make_mvc.mak CPU=AMD64 OPTIMIZE=SPACE GETTEXT=no NETBEANS=no
CSCOPE=no DIRECTX=yes GUI=yes
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect gvim.exe to be created. Instead, I get link errors referring to
standard C functions and others:
winclip.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol memcpy
screen.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol memmove
misc1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol realloc
etc etc etc
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vim 7.4.712, Windows 8.1 Pro
Please provide any additional information below.
I also created a question on Stackoverflow for this issue.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29986585/why-am-i-not-able-to-build-vim-with-visual-studio-2015-rc-command-line-tools
My hope was to figure out what ever needed adding to Make_mvc.mak for this
build, and contribute a patch, but, alas I seem to have hit a wall.
Thank you.
