Unable to build on windows with VS 2013

[kambeena]

I am not able to build with Visual studio 2013 with VC v12. I get lots of error in win32-math.h and math.h. Do I have to install VS 2010?

I never try build with 2013. what's the failure screenshot?

OK I have seen similar issues else where Please make sure you have all the latest service packs for your visual studio.

After that please make sure you run

set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2012

In the same console before doing the install. Please try and let me know how you get on.

Thanks No9. I tried setting GYP_MSVS_VERSION. Not working. I drooped idea of compiling with VS 2013. I am using 2010 version but getting following? Any idea? C:\tools\UDT_solutions\node-httpp\node-httpp-0.8-httpp\node.sln.metaproj : error MSB4126: The speci fied solution configuration "Release|Any CPU" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configura tion using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Solution.sln /p:Configuratio n=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU") or leave those properties blank to use the default solution configur ation.

I found the problem. There was a platform environment variable which was interfering. I removed it and project got build. But I think again I got stuck in creating msi.

vcbuild.bat release msi

error:

Great. I installed Wix tools. Finally I am able to create build using VC++ 2010 express. Now I am ready to test.
