Create MSVC.zip
These steps are for installing Build Tools for Visual Studio on Windows and then packaging them up to be use inside of a Wine install on Linux or MacOS. See TODO: Add link here
for more details.
The first few steps for creating this are the same as installing Build Tools on Windows, except you have to install the tools to a different folder (add the --installPath`` argument to the
vs_buildtools.exe command. This article and the rest of the set up will be expecting the folder structure set up below.
- Follow Step 1 from [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio?view=vs-2017|Microsoft's docs for installing Visual Studio 2017]] to make sure you have the right system requirements to run the Build Tools or Visual Studio
- [[https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#vstool-2017|Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017]]
- Open a
cmd window and navigate to the location of the
vs_buildtools.exe you just downloaded.
- Run the following command to install the Visual C++ workload with the
v141 platform toolset and
10.0.17134.0 Windows 10 SDK. Afterwards, wait about ~5-10 minutes and you should have a folder at
C:\MSVC\VC with a bunch of stuff in it
vs_buildtools.exe --passive --wait --norestart --nocache --installPath "C:\MSVC\VC" --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.17134 --includeRecommended
- Copy
C:\MSVC to your desktop or somewhere else in your user space
- Copy
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits to
MSVC\Kits and delete all folders from
MSVC\Kits\10 except for
bin,
Include, and
Lib`. You completed folder structure should look something like the following:
MSVC / VC / Common7/ DIA SDK/ Licenses/ MSBuild/ SDK/ Team Tools/ VC/ Kits / 10 / bin/ Include/ Lib/
