Mikel: did you have any success building Gambit on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2017? I would like to do the same but I have failed.
Marc: I'd like to use Gambit (version 4.8.8 or whatever version) on Windows 10, using Visual Studio Community 2017 (which is free, like express was). To no success, I've tried mimicking how the build works on appveyor, I've tried "make prebuilt" using the MinGW/msys environment invoked from the developer command prompt, and I've tried to build using a slightly modified misc/vc2012.bat (since I used the developer command prompt, I just removed the call to vcvarsall.bat). I have too many failed build logs to include in this email, and I can't deduce what I'm doing wrong.
I would appreciate if you could tell me either 1) how to compile Gambit using "make prebuilt" (which I assume uses the MinGW environment with CC=cl.exe) or 2) if you could make an updated misc\vs2017.bat and tell me what needs to be invoked before it, i.e., do I have to run configure from the msys environment first?
Thanks,
Bill
