I'm trying to build the basic firebreath (1.7) on visual studio community (2015). The compiler is found but the ATL/MFC headers and libraries not.

I've then installed the WDK https://msdn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/hardware/dn913721.aspx, but still it fails:

CMAKE parameters:

D:\firebreath\Tutorialtestplugin\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" -DFB_PROJECTS_DIR="D:\firebreath\Tutorialtestplugin"  "D:\firebreath\Tutorialtestplugin\firebreath"

Error:

CMake Error at cmake/Win.cmake:126 (message): FireBreath on windows requires ATL/MFC libs to be installed. Please download the Microsoft DDK and install the build environments in C:\WinDDK Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake/common.cmake:31 (include) CMakeLists.txt:41 (include)

Did you use the custom install and selected the MFC/ATL Option? - xMRi

I'm not sure the Win 8.1 or 10 WDK include ATL headers/libraries. The Win 7 WDK come with these files. Please search "atlwin.h" and "atls.lib" in your WDK installed folder to verify.

If these files are found, the problem is easy. The cmake/Win.cmake will search following path to locate ATL headers and libraries:

  • $ENV{DDK_PATH}
  • $ENV{SystemDrive}/WinDDK
  • $ENV{ProgramFiles}/WinDDK
  • $ENV{CommonProgramFiles}/WinDDK

If your WDK are not installed in these folder. Cmake will not able to find them and print this error.

You can set environment variable "DDK_PATH" or use mklink.exe to create a folder link to the WDK installed folder. For example "mklink.exe /j %SystemDrive%\WinDDK your_WDK_installed_folder"
