How to install OpenDDS 3.12 on windows system

I recently try to install OpenDDS-3.12 on my windows7 OS.

But, it has make trouble.

When I try to type configure on VS command prompt, it can't detect Visual C++ version!

Error code is like this:

Colud not detect Visual C++ version, try running this script from
 the Visual Studio Command Prompt.
Stopped at configure line 410.

Somebody help me my problem.

(Active perl version is 5.24.1, VS version is 2017)

Solution

  • I encountered the same issue while I had my visual studio correctly installed. I figured out that the configure script of openDDS is checking the output of the cl.exe command and expect a compiler version displayed in English!. Mine was displayed in french, so it didn't work. I had to install the English package to get the visual studio command prompt in English. it worked after that.
