Can't build—Win10, VS2017, x64

[hamaluik]

Hey, I can't get Chakra to build under Windows 10 with VS2017 (haven't tried other systems).

In the Chakra.Backend project I get a ton of errors:

E1907 unknown attribute "guard"

which I think then leads to:

LNK2001 unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl ChakraBinaryAutoSystemInfoInit(class AutoSystemInfo *)" (?ChakraBinaryAutoSystemInfoInit@@YAXPEAVAutoSystemInfo@@@Z)
LNK1120 1 unresolved externals

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you switch to x64 as your title says or does that refer to your system? In the latter case make it the former.

My system is x64. Tried building (in order):

• x64 Debug
• x64 Release
• x86 Debug
• x86 Release

All with the same result.

(if it's any help, this is the build output:

Ah, you're just talking about building the sln. That shouldn't matter, we just need some generated c files from that, just go to the second step and run Kore/make, then compile the generated sln in the build subdir, that'll take care of the actual Chakra compilation.

[hamaluik]

Ahh, thanks. The README wasn't super clear on that. Thanks!

Still early days with Chakra, I'll eventually get rid of that first step.
