I'm new to rust and made a simple rust program(hello world). I installed rust and Visual Studio from here - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and restarted the device. However when I type in rustc <path> on command prompt, I get:
error: linker `link.exe` not found
|
= note: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)
note: the msvc targets depend on the msvc linker but `link.exe` was not found
note: please ensure that VS 2013, VS 2015 or VS 2017 was installed with the Visual C++ option
error: aborting due to previous error
What's wrong?
Update
I updated my system path to include C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.22.27905\bin\Hostx64\x64, but now it gives this error:
error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1181

This reports your exact problem.
So the solution seems to use VS installer and installing C++ for Desktop Module.
Use of rustup is a matter of convenience but shouldn't be mandatory.

I am trying to get a Visual Studio 2017 project to link, but I'm stuck on the following linker error:
LINK : fatal error C1007: unrecognized flag '-Ot' in 'p2'
I've read questions on what the cause could be, but I couldn't come to a solution for my project.
The details are that, due to an external component we have no control over (component A), this Visual Studio 2017 project is forced to use the v14.13 version of the C++ toolchain, i.e. not the latest one (v14.14). However, the latest release of another external precompiled static lib we have no control over either (component B), is built with the v14.14 version (I checked via a dumpbin extract of the debug version of the lib). Switching my project over to the v14.14 toolchain indeed makes the link error go away on component B, but this unfortunately isn't a solution for me due to component A. Taking an earlier version of component B isn't desirable either, since we need the functionality in the latest release...
However, what strikes me, is that the /Ot ("optimize for speed") flag has been around since the middle ages... Why wouldn't v14.13 recognize it? Or is it just an (awkwardly manifested) matter of a mismatched obj file layout due to the version differences? And, probably related, what does the 'p2' stand for anyway?
Update
I've checked the linker output by using the /verbose flag, and all seems normal (3600 lines of Searching <lib>, Found <function>, Referenced in <obj> and Loaded <lib>).
Right up until the end that is, where I get the following 6 lines:
1> Searching C:\PathToExternalLib\TheirStatic.lib:
1> Found UsedFunctionName
1> Referenced in MyOwnStatic.lib(MyOwnCompileUnit.obj)
1>LINK : fatal error C1007: unrecognized flag '-Ot' in 'p2'
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed
1>Done building project "MyProject.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
And that's that.
When visiting the command line setting of the link properties of the project, the only thing listed is (broken up in separate lines for convenience):
/OUT:"MyProject.dll"
/MANIFEST
/NXCOMPAT
/PDB:"MyProject.pdb"
/DYNAMICBASE "C:\PathToMyStatic.lib"
/IMPLIB:"MyProject.lib"
/DLL
/MACHINE:X64
/PGD:"MyProject.pgd"
/MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'"
/ManifestFile:"MyProject.prm.intermediate.manifest"
/ERRORREPORT:PROMPT
/NOLOGO
/LIBPATH:"C:\PathToExternalStaticLib"
/LIBPATH:"C:\PathToAnotherExternalStaticLib"
/TLBID:1
So no trace of any -Ot flag there as well...?
I had this problem. LINK : fatal error C1007: unrecognized flag '-Ot' in 'p2'
while building a project with Visual Studio 2015.
I had to rebuild any library or sub library the project linked to which were built with Visual Studio 2017.
Once I rebuild the dependent libraries with Visual Studio 2015 the first project was able to link against them.

I found this forum with a slightly active/recent question asking about this same issue here:
Internal compiler error in outdname.c in VS15.7p3 when building Firefox webrtc code
Is there anything I can do from this point to fix this?
Downgrading my version of VS to 2015 allowed me to bypass this compiler error and compile QT successfully.
In VS2013 Community Edition, I had a Win32 VC++ clr project I've been working on. I'm trying to use the CefSharp library, and so through nuget I've imported it.
Following the steps found here I learned I had to change from Win32 to x64 as my 'Active solution platform' to avoid this:
error : CefSharp.Common does not work correctly on 'Win32' platform. You need to specify platform (x86 / x64).
However when I follow those steps and add x64 to my project through the configuration manager, I get the following compilation errors:
1>------ Build started: Project: PROJECTNAME, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1> Main.cpp
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\system_error(20): error C2869: 'std::errc' : has already been defined to be a namespace

I'm not sure what is causing this or how to solve it.
I am trying to run a simple program through cmake gui and I receive the following output. I am not really sure what the problem is and forgive me, because I am quite new to this. I have also uninstalled and installed visual studio 2012 and 2013 to see if that would make a difference. I am using Visual Studio 2013 as the compiler and get the following configuration error.

I just finished my project and tried building it in Release for the first time. I've had previous issues with the Windows 7 SDK and the Common7 stuff located in program files(ie they were missing and I had to install them from msdn).
The build is complaining :
1>LINK : fatal error C1350: error loading dll 'msobj110.dll': dll not found
1>Block.obj : fatal error LNK1000: unknown error at 00A14372; consult documentation for technical support options

Yet I looked at :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE
I have the same folder under C:\Program Files..., and IDE is almost empty; doesn't have the ms libraries.
How can I know where Visual Studio picks these dll from? I'm using VS2012.
