Can't Seem To Make x64? about detours HOT 11 CLOSED

This is literally all I ever do to build it:

SET DETOURS_TARGET_PROCESSOR=X64
CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
NMAKE

from detours.

I may be stupid then, I'll try this when I wake up in the morning

OK never-mind my curiosity got the better of me.

Still getting same error, could it be I am using the community Visual Studio and you're using Enterprise?

Possibly but I wouldn't think so for this basic compiling and linking. Possibly a different SDK version. Did you try from a clean, unzipped copy of the Detours source? I've had issue when building the x64 libraries in the same directory I've used for x86. You can also do 'nmake clean'.

One side note: if it's getting as far as linking the example binaries, the core library files are already built -- and that's really what most people need.

Yes, I downloaded it fresh when you commented on my laptop which has Win10 1803 on it, C++ tools and all, I don't know what's going on, I'll try it at work and see if we have access to Enterprise licences and try again.

Installed Enterprise, same issue. I might install XP support it could be something stupid like that knowing how MS sometimes works ;), if not I'll report back even more confused.

For reference what do you have installed for VS?

from detours.

I just have the '.NET desktop development' and 'Desktop development with C++' workloads installed.

Then I'm out of ideas, I've got the same but doesn't work for me.

The same problem: setting DETOURS_TARGET_PROCESSOR=x64 just puts binaries in x64 folder but the .lib file seems to be created by x86 compiler.
When I try to use it I get
1>k:\Detours\Detours-master\lib.X64\detours.lib : warning LNK4272: library machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'

from detours.

VS2017 comes with several command shell prompts. The default one Developer Command Prompt for VS2017 invokes the x86-targeting compiler. Try using the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2017 shell instead. This should invoke the x64-targeting compiler. I'm assuming that you have a 64-bit version of Windows installed. If not, you'll need to use the x86_64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS2017.

Each VC++ compiler binary only supports one target, so you have to make sure that you are invoking the right one. This is different than clang, for example, which is built as a cross-compiler that supports multiple target architectures.

The error message from the pastebin log shows that the wrong compiler is being invoked:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.14.26428\bin\HostX86\x86\cl.EXE

At the end of path HostX86 means that the compiler is hosted on x86. The following subdirectory x86 means that the compiler is targeting x86 too.

Oh I feel stupid, I didn't even see that in the error message.

That solved it. Thank you!
