Visual Studio Command Prompt.
If you wish to build a 64-bit version, you must use the 64-bit version of
the command, and vice versa.
- In the Microsoft Windows SDK, start the
- CMD shell listed under the SDK on the Start Menu.
- In recent SDK versions you can change the targeted CPU architecture, build
- type, and target OS by using the setenv command, e.g.
- setenv /x86 /release /xp to target Windows XP or later
- with a 32-bit release build. See /? for other options to
- setenv. All commands should be run from the
- src\tools\msvc directory.
+ Starting with Visual Studio 2017 this can be
+ done from the command line using VsDevCmd.bat, see
+ -help for the available options and their default values.
+ vsvars32.bat is available in
+ Visual Studio 2015 and earlier versions for the
+ same purpose.
+ From the Visual Studio Command Prompt, you can
+ change the targeted CPU architecture, build type, and target OS by using the
+ vcvarsall.bat command, e.g.
+ vcvarsall.bat x64 10.0.10240.0 to target Windows 10
+ with a 64-bit release build. See -help for the other
+ options of vcvarsall.bat. All commands should be run from
+ the src\tools\msvc directory.
