Build error #15

Closed Unix-User closed 1 year ago

Unix-User commented 1 year ago

I wanted to make a modification to get the player names from usercache.json so I cloned the repo and tried to build here but I'm getting the error "command 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community \VC\Tools\MSVC\14.37.32822\bin\HostX86\x86\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2", using python 3.8, using 3.7 it compiles with some warnings, but when running it keeps asking vcredist_2008/2010, I'm not an expert in C++ or python, I'm not sure if I'm skipping a step, could you provide more detailed instructions?

Hey, @Unix-User. It looks like you're missing VSCode Community Edition with Windows Build Tools. You can download it here

If you've already downloaded the VSCode Community Edition and you already set it up, You will need to run the Visual Studio Installer, modify the Community Edition, make sure Desktop Development with C++ is selected.

This should install the VC++ versions.

I've noticed on the original Overviewer documentation the VC++ 2008 & 2010 versions links are dead.
