I’d love to see C++ support on Windows, via Visual Studio. When I set language: cpp in my .travis.yml file, I see the following error: The language ‘cpp’ is currently unsupported on the Windows Build Environment. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Hi Everyone This would be easy for us to address. The big question is, what commands are standard for us to run? What is best practice? Does anyone have any links to a cpp project or two which is running on Travis to see what we need to do?

It’s probably tough to define a canonical C++ project, as the build systems vary so widely. I’m trying this one: joshpeterson/cpp-template/blob/windows-build-travis/.travis.yml # Enable C++ support language: cpp stages: - format - static analysis - build - address sanitizer - thr…

Hi Josh, we are currently using this configuration in our project: https://github.com/ebertolazzi/Clothoids/blob/master/.travis.yml

Hi Josh, I’m pretty sure that the bash language spawns workers that contain the same stuff of “language: cpp”'s workers. Or at least, I can’t find differences… As a temporary workaround it should work. EDIT (stupid 3 replies restriction :frowning_face: ): After the last @josh post , it is now possi…

We have removed the restriction for c and cpp jobs on Windows. I’m also building a new image which should fix an issue with make not being on the PATH correctly.

Excellent, thanks! I’ve tried this, and it is working. I have a bit more to do to complete my configuration for Windows, but it look good.

It looks like msbuild may not be in the PATH. I believe it should be installed as part of the “visualstudio2017buildtools” Chocolately package, which is installed by default. Can it be added to the PATH?

@josh It would be fantastic to also have cmake and msbuild (as noted earlier) in PATH. Currently for projects that use cmake the integration of Windows build is very simple modulo having to modify PATH to be able to run cmake.

@zeux It looks like cmake is in the PATH, but msuild is not. So we’re close. :grinning:

Oh, I missed this - thought only make is. Thanks for the heads up :slight_smile:
