I just built stream 2.8.14 successfully with both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.  I don’t have 2019 installed so I could not test that, but I would be surprised if it failed.

 

My environment:

OS:Windows 10 x64

base：7.0.4

asyn：4-40

MSVC：2015, 2017 Community

GNU make:4.2.1

Perl64:5.24.3

 

SCNx8 is defined in inttypes.h for Visual Studio.  This is where it is found in all of the inttypes.h files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits.

I also found that git needed to be installed on Windows to build 2.8.14.  For other modules with base 7.0.4 it was sufficient to make “fake” git.bat that just contained:

@echo GSECARS-Build

 

However, stream actually checks the syntax of the returned string, and that trick fails.

Subject: SteamDevice 2.8.x build on Windows issue

 

Hi all,

  I find that the SteamDevice(from 2.8 to 2.8.14) can not be built on Win7 x64. The error info is :../ChecksumConverter.cc:777:51: error: expected ')' before 'SCNx8'. However the version of 2.7.14 can be built successfully. I've checked the file ChecksumConverter.cc, there is some difference between them like following:

2.8.x:   if (sscanf(input(cursor+2*i), "%2" SCNx8, &inchar) != 1)

2.7.14:  if (sscanf(input(cursor+2*i), "%2X", &inchar) != 1)

 

The software environment I'm using:

OS:Win7 x64

base：3.15.8

asyn：4-38

MSVC：2019 community

GNU make:4.2.1

Strawberry:5.30.1

 

PS：SteamDevice 2.8.14 is dependency with git, the other versions are not

Cheers,
