Error: Failed to find windows kit root.

[juniorfr]

Do you need any additional packages in Windows to run the code? and how do I download it? I'm a noob btw

Run the python script msvc_build_libraries.py , that should be enough.

That wasn't enough!

I tried this

I'm using Widows 11...

What error do you see? Do you have msvc_sdk folder that the python script produces in the same directory as c3c.exe?

[juniorfr]

I installed it following the guide above, with the msvc_sdk folder and still got the error failed to find windows kit root.

[lerno]

Can you show me the command you're using to compile?

[juniorfr]

[lerno]

Just to eliminate all possible errors, can you try copy everything to C:\ and run from there?

I just installed fresh Windows 11 and tried to run C3 on it

Steps I used

• Downloaded latest C3
• Extract the package and run msvc_build_libraries with python
• Added C3 folder to windows path
• Downloaded Visual Studio with C/C++ and Windows 11 SDK (maybe a better way, but I didn't find it)
• Run the C3 apps from x64 Native tools command prompt (available after installing Visual Studio, only console that had clang in it)

Maybe it helps @juniorfr

You should not need to download VS @tonis2

[tonis2]

@lerno I had trouble getting cl.exe available at command line, whats the better way to download it at windows ?

[lerno]

What exe? @tonis2

[tonis2]

Sorry my bad, Windows requires this cl.exe from me probably because I'm trying to compile a library with c-source file

This is the error I'm getting, I got it fixed, but I had to mess with Visual Studio

'cl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Failed to compile c sources using command '"cl.exe /c ./window.c3l\win32.c /Fo:build\tmp\c3w/win32.obj"'.

Example manifest

Yes, if you use c compilation you need a c compiler.

@juniorfr can you let us know the steps you took when trying to compile?
