I have downloaded vcredist_x64.exe and installed it .

I can't locate the vcvarsall.bat in my pc with $ find /cygdrive/ -name "vcvarsall.bat" in cygwin environment.

Where is my vcvarsall.bat ?

Solution

  • Are you sure vcredist will install vcvarsall.bat ? I believe this just installs visual C++ runtime libraries, not the development tools.

    In any case, you should try: find /cygdrive/c -iname 'vcvarsall.bat' to do a case insentsitive search.

    Usually you can find this script by looking at the VS[version]COMNTOOLS environment variable:

    cd %VS110COMNTOOLS%
cd ..
cd ..
cd VC

    In cygwin shell:

    cd "$(cygpath "$VS110COMNTOOLS")/../../VC"

    Visual Studio is available there: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40787
