CLion EWDK MSVC Toolchain doesn't find kernel32.Lib

Answered

Morning,

I am currently moving my whole dev environment from VS2019 to CLion and can't get the Enterprise Windows Driver Kit (WDK) build environment working. After setting up the toolchain I get the following error message:

-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.28.29913.0

  It fails with the following output:

  CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:8 (project)

So my guess would be that CLion isn't able to find the correct Windows Kit that includes the missing static linked libs.


When working with VS2019 this issues is not existing as `LaunchBuildEnv.cmd` will take care of setting all paths.

Basically you just start `LaunchBuildEnv.cmd` then type `SetupVSEnv` and start VS2019 from the cmd and all paths etc. are fixed automatically.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for CLion. When pointing CLion to the `Build Tools` folder it is able to detect everything correctly but seems to no be able to get the Windows Kits from `E:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10`.

I already tried to supply CLion with `SetupBuildEnv.cmd` as the Environment File without any success.

So I wanted to ask if somebody know how I need to supply this path to CLion so it is correctly forwarded to cl.exe.

Hello!

Please go to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake and paste the following options into the CMake options field:

-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10

Does it help?

Thanks for the response but the flags didn't helped.

Is there any information that I could provide to you?

Please provide a screenshot of `File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains` (please capture the screenshot after the compiler detection is completed).

I really appreciate your help.

Here is the requested screenshot:

 

As far as I can tell the issue is caused by the generator I guess because then I switch to VS2019 as the generator everything works fine. Although I the compiler checks are then just skipped.

And when using ninja I get this:

Is it ok for you to use this generator?

For sure, just wanted to let you know this if some other person has the same error.

Thanks for your time.

Have a nice weekend.
