Cannot build CoreCLR on Windows

[alexcovington]

I'm having trouble building the CoreCLR on Windows both in and outside of Visual Studio using the building workflow in the documentation.

Currently, whenever I run the command:

.\build.cmd -a x64 -c debug

I get the error message:

 BUILD: Error: native component build failed. Refer to the build log files for details.

Build failed.
Some builds failed:
        Configuration: Debug, Architecture: x64

The content of the error log file is:

    38>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(231,5): error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 9009. [C:\Users\acovingt\runtime\artifacts\obj\coreclr\Windows_NT.x64.Debug\src\ToolBox\SOS\DacTableGen\gen_dialib.vcxproj]

I am able to build using the equivalent scripts in WSL, just not Windows. Any help would be appreciated.

@alexcovington Try this:

build.cmd -subset Clr -os Windows_NT -arch x64 -configuration Debug -runtimeConfiguration Debug

[alexcovington]

@hypeartist Same error.

CMake is also reporting errors from within Visual Studio as well whenever I open the root folder of the repository:

[hypeartist]

Same error.

Yeah. My bad. Sorry. Just pulled the current tree and got build error too. Strange. Worked for me before.

[alexcovington]

@hypeartist No worries! I'll wait for a fix and pull then.

[alexcovington]

I'm still unable to build using the instructions here. I'm still getting the same error message as above. I've successfully been able to build CoreCLR on Ubuntu 20.04.

Any word on a fix?

[alexcovington]

I'm still unable to build, receiving the same error message. Are there other log files I should be looking at?

[hoyosjs]

Hmm can only think of a couple things. What version of CMake are you using, do you have this path: Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\DIA SDK, and what version of the Windows SDK . This should still repro if you do src/coreclr/build-runtime.cmd

As for the VS opening folder, we don't have the CMakeLists configured such that you can open the directory and let it build. We define some things in the build scripts as we detect some parameters.

[alexcovington]

@hoyosjs Thanks for the tip on the CMakeLists, I'll focus on just getting this to build outside of Visual Studio first.

CMake version is 3.18.0.

I did not have Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\DIA SDK on my path, I added that.

I had many versions of the Windows SDK installed, so I uninstalled them all and reinstalled just Windows SDK 10.0.19041.1.

I tried running the build-runtime.cmd with defaults from inside src\coreclr, build still failed. Here's the last few lines of artifacts\log\Debug\CoreCLR_Windows_NT__x64__Debug.log:

@alexcovington it seems that something from the dia library is missing or midl or tlbimpl were not found. Would you mind trying to instrument the src/coreclr/src/ToolBox/SOS/DacTableGen/CMakeLists.txt a bit to pinpoint the culprit?

The instrumentation would be simple. Right after the FIND_PROGRAM(MIDL midl.exe) line, you'd add a couple of new lines:

message("MIDL found at: ${MIDL}")
message("TLBIMPL found at: ${TLBIMPL}")
message("Attempted to copy ${DIASDK_DIR}/bin/msdia140.dll to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR")
message("DIASDK_DIR: ${DIASDK_DIR}")

Then run the build-runtime.cmd and after it fails, look up the added messages output in the console.

Oh sorry, didn't mean to say that needs to be in the path, but rather if that path exists on your machine.

@janvorli Seems like it can't find tlbimp.exe. I added the lines in your post (changed TLBIMPL to TLBIMP to match the existing variables) and the output I get when running build-runtime.cmd gave me:

MIDL found at: C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/bin/10.0.19041.0/x64/midl.exe
TLBIMP found at: TLBIMP-NOTFOUND
Attempted to copy C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community//DIA SDK/bin/msdia140.dll to C:/Users/acovingt/source/repos/runtime/artifacts/obj/coreclr/Windows_NT.x64.Debug/src/ToolBox/SOS/DacTableGen
DIASDK_DIR: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community//DIA SDK

Am I missing a dependency? What should I install/reinstall to get the executable?

[janvorli]

I have tlbimp that is executed during the build at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\x64\TlbImp.exe.
It seems you might missing the .NET Framework 4.8 SDK installation in the Visual Studio.
