latest Visual Studio 2017 build of 'fgbl.exe' hangs when executed (Windows 10.0.15063) #3

Closed ab-cpp closed 6 years ago

ab-cpp commented 6 years ago

Load 'VisualStudio17.sln' from the latest VS17 Professional (MSVC++ 14.1), build all in any configuration, then try to run the resulting 'fgbl.exe' from the command-line and the command-line hangs until you hit ctrl-c.

I just pushed an update to compile with the latest VS17 due to different _MSC_VER value ...

ab-cpp commented 6 years ago

I should clarify that this is some kind of build issue - the code never actually runs.

ab-cpp commented 6 years ago

You can confirm this by building with, for instance, VS2015. In this case, executing the command just prints out the command use description and terminates.

Is anyone able to replicate ?

Hey, I was able to reproduce your problem (with Windows version 1709, OS Build 16299.248). But I'm not sure what it is exactly. I think the version of boost your using might not work with MSVC++ 14.1. When I build the solution I get this error:

Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results

You may need to upgrade Boost to be able to use Visual Studio 2017 with your project.

That was it ! Nice failure mode boost ! I'll close this and issue your bounty.

ab-cpp commented 6 years ago

Looks like you have to claim it first in bountysource before I can issue it.

Thank you. Glad I could help!
