Re: Building Epics base 3.15.2 in Windows 7

That worked very well - well, almost.
I installed VC++ support, now have vcvarsall.bat. Using it, make now get much farther, but I still get an error message:

I figured out my problem. I had not configured Visual Studio 2015 to have the VC++ language support.

I fixed this using Control Panel/Programs and Features/Microsoft Visual Studio 2015/Change and selected Modify.  I then checked the box for Programming Languages/VC++.  Once I did that then many more .bat files appeared, including Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat.

Alexander also reported that he did not have a vcvarsall.bat file on his system, so I suspect he has the same problem I did, and also needs to install the VC++ support in Visual Studio.  I think that once vcvarsall.bat is run from the cmd window startup that the EPICS build errors will be fixed.

My installation is missing the vcvars64.bat and vcvarsall.bat files.  Perhaps some incorrect choice I made during installation?  Mine is also a new installation of 2015 Community, and I have not tried to use it either.

perhaps this?
D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat

and what about this?
D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat
