Question: Can I use VS2022 community to develop Hercules?

Fish-Git commented 2 years ago

FYI:

Such simple questions should not be asked via the GitHub Issues user interface. Instead, such questions should be directed to the main Hercules support group (forum) at:

But to answer your question, yes, Hercules can be built using VS2022, but you'll need to perform a few minor housekeeping chores beforehand, as documented on my "Hercules Windows Build Instructions" web page at:

Then, just open the provided .sln Solution file and click Build or BuildAll. VOILA! Instant Hercules.   :)

OR...   An even much easier way to build Hercules on Windows is to use Bill Lewis's (wrljet) most excellent "Hercules Helper" script, at:

Bill's script completely automates everything thereby allowing you to quickly/easily build Hercules on Windows with just a simple command.

But again, NEXT time we'd appreciate you asking such questions in our support forum and not here. Thanks for understanding.

Hope that helps!

Thanks.

FWIW I just tested Hercules-Helper on Win10 and let it install a fresh VS2022 and the required components/workloads. It all worked.
