## Windows Compiler Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### ⚠️ Important: MSVC vs Clang on Windows
|
|
|
|
**We strongly recommend using Clang on Windows** due to compatibility issues with MSVC and Abseil's int128 and type_traits features:
|
|
|
|
#### Why Clang is Recommended:
|
|
- ✅ **Better C++23 Support**: Full support for modern C++23 features
|
|
- ✅ **Abseil Compatibility**: No issues with `absl::int128` and type traits
|
|
- ✅ **Cross-Platform Consistency**: Same compiler across all platforms
|
|
- ✅ **Better Error Messages**: More helpful diagnostic messages
|
|
- ✅ **Faster Compilation**: Generally faster than MSVC
|
|
|
|
#### MSVC Issues:
|
|
- ❌ **C++23 Deprecation Warnings**: Abseil int128 triggers numerous deprecation warnings
|
|
- ❌ **Type Traits Problems**: Some Abseil type traits don't work correctly with MSVC
|
|
- ❌ **Int128 Limitations**: MSVC's int128 support is incomplete
|
|
- ❌ **Build Complexity**: Requires additional workarounds and flags
|
|
|
|
### Compiler Setup Options
|
|
|
|
#### Option 1: Clang (Recommended)
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Install LLVM/Clang via winget
|
|
winget install LLVM.LLVM
|
|
|
|
# Or download from: https://releases.llvm.org/
|
|
# Make sure to add Clang to PATH during installation
|
|
|
|
# Verify installation
|
|
clang --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Option 2: MSVC with Workarounds
|
|
If you must use MSVC, the build system includes workarounds:
|
|
- Abseil int128 is automatically disabled on Windows
|
|
- C++23 deprecation warnings are silenced
|
|
- Additional compatibility flags are applied
|
|
|
|
However, you may still encounter issues with some Abseil features.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start (Windows)
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Automated Setup (Recommended)

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Common Issues
|
|
|
|
1. **PowerShell Execution Policy**
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **MSBuild Not Found**
|
|
- Install Visual Studio 2022 with C++ workload
|
|
- Or add MSBuild to PATH
|
|
|
|
3. **vcpkg Issues**
|
|
- Run `.\scripts\setup-vcpkg-windows.ps1` to reinstall
|
|
- Check internet connection for dependency downloads
|
|
|
|
4. **Python Not Found**
|
|
- Install Python 3.8+ from python.org
|
|
- Make sure Python is in PATH
|
|
|
|
5. **MSVC Compilation Errors**
|
|
- **Abseil int128 errors**: Use Clang instead (`-Compiler clang`)
|
|
- **C++23 deprecation warnings**: These are silenced automatically, but Clang is cleaner
|
|
- **Type traits issues**: Switch to Clang for better compatibility
|
|
- **Solution**: Install Clang and use `.\scripts\build-windows.ps1 -Compiler clang`
|
|
|
|
6. **Clang Not Found**
|
|
- Install LLVM/Clang: `winget install LLVM.LLVM`
|
|
- Or download from: https://releases.llvm.org/
|
|
- Make sure Clang is in PATH: `clang --version`
|
|
|
|
7. **Compiler Detection Issues**
|
|
- Use explicit compiler selection: `-Compiler clang` or `-Compiler msvc`
|
|
- Check available compilers: `where clang` and `where cl`
|
|
|
|
### Getting Help
|
|
|
|
1. Run validation script: `.\scripts\validate-windows-build.ps1`
|
|
2. Check the [Windows Development Guide](../docs/windows-development-guide.md)
|
|
3. Review build output for specific error messages
