No, it stopped building a few days ago, but i have no clue what caused this
No, a new project does not build at all. I tested this on another computer by sending them a zip of the code and it works fine for them but doesn’t work for me.
Having the same issue, the Discord couldn’t help me so I’m emailing vex support to see if they can help find a fix. Seriously need this fixed so I can program my robot, I don’t want to use the Vexcode v5 without C++ and its crazy light mode theme, I’m at a loss right now.
I’ve gotten errors before that I just couldn’t find a normal fix for, so what I did was create a new project with the competition template and paste in the auton, driver control, variables, etc. into the new project one by one and checking for errors as you go.
This has worked for me every time because you either find where the problem is in your code, or there was some other problem with the other project that wasn’t carried over to this one
Well the thing is with this error is that it isn’t normal, me and OP have both created entirely new projects with absolutely no changes and have tried to build them to no avail, we’ve also completely wiped Vexcode V5 Pro from our computers and reinstalled it to see the same error when building the code.
If so, which build and is this on an officially support PC ?
can you set VERBOSE=1 in the makefile and paste output here.
can you also verify that clang actually runs by opening a command prompt and issuing
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VEX Robotics\VEXcode Pro V5\toolchain\vexv5\win32\clang\bin\clang.exe" --version
My understanding is that the VEXcode team has tried to reproduce this error under windows 11 and everything works for them, so we really have no idea what the problem is other than it’s something specific to certain versions of the OS and/or hardware it’s installed on.
I would assume that if VEXcode V5 pro fails, then VEXcode would also, it’s an identical toolchain.
Yeah of course! Currently I’m at work and I’ll be out in around 2 to 2 and a half hours from now, I apologize for having to make you wait but I don’t have the laptop on me. But what I can do is tell you some computer details right now, I have a Lenovo Flex 5 with an Amd cpu, windows 11, and I’ve had it for at least a month. So it’s fairly brand spanking new. It’s completely up to date on every possible driver and os updates (I did those around 5 hours ago) and that’s about as much as I can remember without repeating myself.
ok, that’s useful and more or less confirms what I suspected. clang (the compiler VEXcode uses) does not run due to missing dll or something like that, most likely it’s missing windows C++ runtime. open up “apps and features” and have a look at what is installed, my windows 10 box has all these but IIRC the important one is the 2015-2019 redistributable.
Okay looks we’re getting somewhere! I really hope this fixes it!
My email to vex was responded too and we fixed that error by installing the latest version of Microsoft C++, but now this specific error is back and still persists so I’m glad we’re making headroom!
Here are all my C++ versions as well as the one you have mentioned [UPDATED from original]
I’m going to completely wipe Vex Robotics from my computer, then perform a restart, and attempt to install and generate a new project, and finally (hopefully) build the project with no changes to it.
