Could not automatically setup MSVC #533

Closed ovidiugabriel closed 8 years ago

ovidiugabriel commented 8 years ago

Hello, I want to build a Haxe project with hxcpp and gcc. I don't know why it is trying to find MSVC, because I have g++/gcc installed.

Here is the gcc installation.

C:\Users\ovidiu>g++ --version
g++ (i686-posix-dwarf-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 5.3.0

What I can do to switch to build with gcc?

Hi. I have never used mingw but a quick search in Haxe's google groups got this

Hi, The build-tool uses this logic:

defines.exists("mingw") || env.exists("HXCPP_MINGW")

so you can use -Dmingw or set it in hxcpp_config <set name="mingw" value="1' />

or set HXCPP_MINGW in your computer environment.

I think that it still appliies. Cheers

Thanks a lot. This worked.

set HXCPP_MINGW=1
set MINGW_ROOT=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32

I'm having this same issue but I do have MSVC installed via Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools . Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hello @zikorano, do you want to use msvc or gcc? On windows platforms msvc is selected by default, to use gcc you have to set the HXCPP_MINGW environment variable in build.sh (your shell script).
