cannot compile with MSVC Ultimate 12 #468

Open ktphys opened 4 years ago

ktphys commented 4 years ago

I downloaded "xlnt" yesterday (April 27th 2020), and tried to compile it. When compiling with MSVC Ultimate 2012 I get an endless list of errors, including some internal compiler errors, using the make file "xlnt.sln" generated by cmake. Do I have to change any options by hand? The compiler output is in the attached file "errors.txt" (sorry, it's in German). Any suggestions? Thank you for advice! errors.txt

I'm not sure if I've tried to build this with MSVC 2012 recently. I'll see if I can identify the problem from the errors for you.

@ktphys Was strolling along and noticed your post. I used MSVC 2012 previously at work and one of the reasons we moved on was that MSVC has gradually improved its conformance with the C++ language in subsequent releases. MSVC 2012, I recall, was not even fully compliant with C++11 and so am not surprised that xlnt won't compile with it. It definitely compiles with MSVC 2019. Just thought I'd let you know as I don't suspect the compilation issues will be solved as I'm 70% confident they're related to C++ standard compliance in VS2012. But I could be wrong... @tfussell?
