I am trying to compile the Microsoft CRT 11 by myself (The version that comes along with VS2012).
I'm aware that until VS2008 this action was completely supported by Microsoft:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k9a8ehy3(v=vs.90).aspx
But since VS2010 you are not supposed to do it anymore, and I'm aware of the risks (mainly - compiling it wrong, and having problems that you can't figure or solve)
I'm using the following directories that come with VS as input code and header files:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\crt\src
Headers:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\WinRT
(So far the only changes I have made are to remove some MSIL sources from the project)
Most of the code compiles already. But I can't compile the file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\crt\src\assert.c
Because of the error:
error C3861: '_ReturnAddress': identifier not found
If I add
#include <intrin.h>
it is solved. But I think it's supposed to be solvable without direct changes to the code.
Of course I'm constantly facing new challenges. But I think the solution to the current one is to fix the include order of the header directories. In which order should the header directories be used?
You can force an include (without changing the source code) in the visual studio project (although I'm not sure if it's a better solution).
To do so, right click on the .c in the solution explorer then go in C/C++ -> Advanced -> Force Include File and add intrin.h (or add /FI"intrin.h" in the command line).
