VS2019 or VS2022? ---- natlink.vcxproj issue #66

Closed fusentasticus closed 2 years ago

fusentasticus commented 2 years ago

So I'm diving into compiling Natlink for Python 3.8 --- nice instructions in NatlinkSource, but I get bumped here:

error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.

I've double clicked natlink.vcxproj and started the build. In C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\ I only find a file fxcop.xmlandMicrosoft.CodeAnalysis.props, notMicrosoft.Cpp.Default.props' ....

Did I miss something when installing the Community version of VS2019 ?? Also, the readme.md refers to both 2019 and 2022 versions of VS!

@LexiconCode , I can't remember if was using VS 2021 or VS 2019, and I haven't tried to compile natlink since august. I think out of desperation i upgraded to 2021 trying to solve an issue (which it didn't) I don't think that should be required. Can you look at this please and adjust the docs as necessary?

I managed to compile with 2019 -- the problem was that the guided easy download of VS for C++ wasn't complete. The fix is to use the Visual Studio installer tool. (Thanks to @LexiconCode for help.)

Also, I wrote a task file for VS Code for an alternative IDE. I have produced a working .pyd file for Dragon 14, compiling from VS Code.

Plz find enclosed in my PR just submitted.

Y'all can switch to VS Code if that is better for the project. Is there a command line build possible?
