Hi, I've had exactly this issue for Windows 10, here is how I tackled it:

• Install Visual Studio Community
  • In Visual Studio Installer, select Desktop development with C++
• Reinstall clang

I'll try reinstalling clang. Thank you for the help!

[codinggamingandmhs]

Huh. It didn't work.

I've also tried using VS 2022's command prompt. It might be a clang problem, because it didn't do that to me with gcc. That's why I use it. Not that I'm against Travis. I'll try modifying the build script to use gcc instead.

Do I have to spam stuff? It doesn't work with GCC either, it spits out 30 error messages. (Literally.)

@codinggamingandmhs Just catching up on issues - apologies for the delay. I've had issues installing clang via the VS installer. What I've always done in the past is install VS with the C++ build tools and then install clang via the clang installer from their site. I had this be the process I had to use as recently as a month ago. Give this a shot and let me know if it helps.

I need to put aside some time to come up with a newer, up-to-date process for this that is documented, it seems.

I think I fixed it. Thanks for the help, @travisvroman and @IvanPostu .
