Visual Studio 2015 Community command line build C++ project does not work

Question

I just upgraded VS2015 ultimate (expired) to community. I have been using the build tools under C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC to build my VC application. After upgrading, the build breaks because

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\atlmfc\\include\\afx.h(78) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: new.h : No such file or directory

Ultimate has VC\\include\\new.h but Community does not. Is this by design? How can I fix this build break?

Thanks for any clue.

Answer 1

Really simple: create VC\\include\\new.h with just one line

#include <new>

Update: with the release of VS2015 final this above is no longer needed.

That's it.

For the remaining includes add $(UniversalCRT_IncludePath) into AdditionalIncludeDirectories in project.

Answer 2

Add $(UniversalCRT_IncludePath) to IncludePath .

Answer 3

Solved this by installing the package "Windows Universal CRT SDK" in the VisualStudio Installer.

I'm using the VS2017 Build Tools though.
