Process creation failure : cl.exe

gpstudios_tom · November 2, 2015, 5:31pm

I’ve got MSVC 10.0 installed, I have the environment variable ‘VS100COMNTOOLS’ set.
If I run vcvarsall.bat and then compile it works, but only in cmd.
In flashdevelop’s pre-build command line, I run vcvarsall.bat, but it still produces the error.

How do I fix this?

Does it work with a vanilla command prompt, using openfl test windows, or does it have the same problem?

gpstudios_tom · November 2, 2015, 5:37pm

This is what I get when I try openfl test windows

Still get the error. Process creation failure : cl.exe

singmajesty · November 2, 2015, 5:43pm

Would you mind running haxelib set hxcpp 3.2.102 and see if it helps?

gpstudios_tom · November 2, 2015, 5:51pm

That appears to have done the trick! So what was happening there then? Nobody else appears to be reporting a similar error with the most recent build.

singmajesty · November 2, 2015, 6:23pm

Hmm, I’m not sure, certain things have been changed for MingW support, but I think it has perhaps hurt basic MSVC support in some cases

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I think this bit of knowledge warrants it.

Turns out that for the more recent versions of Visual Studio, C++ is not installed by default.

According to this stackoverflow thread you have to run setup again and manually enable it.

I had the same issue with the missing cl.exe file and that tip from stackoverflow resolved the issue for me.
