Hi

I decided to try to compil in Houdini then, I installed VisualStudio 9.0 on my system. My houdini Version is 12.1.69.
When I tried to use hcustom I obtain this report :
Failed to run C:\VisualStudio9\VC\bin\amd64\cl with error 2: Le fichier spÚcifiÚ
est introuvable.

I check and I have no path like these :
C:\VisualStudio9\VC\bin\amd64\cl
CVisualStudio9/VC/lib/amd64

I would like to know if my VisualSutdio install is wrong or not.
And if it's not … what happens ?
I am not a coder, I tried this because I was curious.

Thanks for your help

Probably you forgot to install C++ x64 tools with your installation. They are not added by default. When you install VS, expand C++ options on screen where you can select components of VS you would like to install, and add them there.

Thanks,

I will check that asap !

Vincent

Ps : ok it works fine !
first step complete …
