Why can't I build Vim with Visual Studio 2015 RC Command Line Tools?
I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Community Edition yesterday . As a first test, I tried to build GVim from source.
I opened a command window with "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Visual Studio 2015\Visual Studio Tools\Windows Desktop Command Prompts\VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt.lnk"
, installed
set include=%include%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include
so it Make_mvc.mak
takes the file Win32.mak
. Also, I installed:
set MSVCVER=12.0
as make file doesn't detect new version of Visual Studio at this point.
After that I have:

Hello Stackoverflow.com
However, when I issue the command to build my GVim (which works great with Visual Studio 2013 CE tools), the compilation goes well, but I get the following link errors:
C: \ ... \ vim \ src> nmake -f Make_mvc.mak CPU = AMD64 OPTIMIZE = SPACE GETTEXT = no NETBEANS = no CSCOPE = no DIRECTX = yes GUI = yes
I am discarding most of the error messages because there are a lot of them:

I feel like I am missing something obvious. What has changed between VS 2013 and VS 2015?

It turns out this has already been reported on the vim_dev mailing list and it has to do with a refactoring of the C runtime.
In particular, the parameter /nodefaultlib
for the linker seems to be causing the problem.
The patch included in Pavel Moore's observation worked for me.
The pre-compiled XPM library included with Vim seems to be statically linked to MSVCRT. This issue is mentioned in CRT Library Functions :
If you have multiple DLLs or EXEs, you can have multiple CRTs, regardless of whether you are using different versions of Visual C ++. For example, statically linking a CRT to multiple DLLs can present the same problem. Developers facing this issue with static CRTs have been instructed to compile with a
/MD
DLL CRT to use. Now that the CRT DLL has been renamed tomsvcr110.dll
, applications can have some components associated withmsvcrt.dll
and others withmsvcr110.dll
. If your DLLs are passing CRT resources on the bordermsvcrt.dll
andmsvcr110.dll
, you will run into inconsistent CRT issues and must recompile your project with Visual C ++.
I have not tried to recompile the included XPM library using VS2015, so XPM support in my GVim is now disabled.
