error.vs.devenv

What happens

• CMake fatal error:

  • version <= v0.23.95: with message [hunter ** FATAL ERROR **] Incorrect CMAKE_VS_DEVENV_COMMAND ...
  • version >= v0.23.96: with message [hunter ** FATAL ERROR **] Incorrect MSVC setup ...

Explanation

These paths can be used to determine tools which needed to build non-CMake projects (like Boost). - CMAKE_VS_DEVENV_COMMAND contains full path to devenv.com tool when using full versions of Visual Studio. - CMAKE_VS_MSBUILD_COMMAND contains full path to MSBuild.exe tool.

What to do

• For some reason the CMake version that came with Visual Studio doesn’t define this variable (see issue 751). As a workaround, use standard CMake version from https://cmake.org/download/
• If you are using Microsoft Build Tools, or a similar non-full Visual Studio installation, and Hunter version <= v0.23.95 then CMAKE_VS_DEVENV_COMMAND may not be available. Please try updating Hunter, which will also check CMAKE_VS_MSBUILD_COMMAND.
• CMAKE_VS_DEVENV_COMMAND will be used only if there is no VS*COMNTOOLS environment added after Visual Studio installation (this “feature” introduced since Visual Studio 15 2017). You can add such variable manually, e.g. for Visual Studio 15 2017 set environment variable VS150COMNTOOLS to value C:\...\ide\msvc\2017\Common7\Tools
