[Linphone-users] Which C compiler and other tools are used in the Windows desktop build?

[George Simpson]

Hello,

Could you please clarify which C compiler and other tools are used in the Linphone sdk Windows desktop build?

In the guide https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/linphone-sdk/ is

"SDK compilation is supported on Visual Studio 15 2017 and MSYS2 https://www.msys2.org/."

The guide contains also under the MSYS2 part:

"Visual Studio must also be properly configured with addons. Under "Tools"->"Obtain tools and features", make sure that the following components are installed:

• Tasks: Select Windows Universal Platform development, Desktop C++ Development, .NET Development
• Under "Installation details". Go to "Desktop C++ Development" and add "SDK Windows 8.1 and SDK UCRT"
• Individual component: Windows 8.1 SDK"

and

"In this order, add C:\msys64\, C:\msys64\usr\bin and C:\msys64\mingw32\bin in your PATH (the last one is needed by cmake to know where gcc is) to the PATH environement variable from windows advanced settings."

Is it so that MSYS2 build (cmake commands) uses both the gcc and Microsoft build tools?

Thanks,

George
