尝试构建GLFW时链接错误

Question

I'm using CMAKE to build GLFW, but its spewing out the following error: No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found. . This is the entire output log, though i think the important bit is:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ucrtd.lib'

I've done some searching and it seems like my Visual Studio installation is fried, when i try to repair it i get a ton of errors about packages that cannot be found. I've tried to reinstall some C++ redist and the Windows 7 SDK, though that didnt fix it.

Update:

You need to specify the generator when running cmake, if you use VS2013:

cmake . -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64"

For Visual Studio 2015 it should be

cmake . -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"

Here is the complete list of generators. Maybe you have to leave out the "Win64" part.

According to

you could try to add $UniversalCRT_LibraryPath to Configuration Properties -> VC++Directories -> Library Directories. Does this solve your problem?

One thing you could also try is to uninstall and then reinstall MSVC.
