Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code

ROOT Version: 6.28/00
Platform: Windows 10
Compiler: Not Provided

I managed to build cling and install root version 6.28/00 on windows 10.
Interpreting C++ code works fine. But when I try to compile a simple hello.C containing
int hello()
{
return 123;
}
I get errors like
vcruntime.h(193): error C2371: “size_t”: Neudefinition; …
I have Visual Studio 2022 community installed.
Can anyone help me?

Hi @f_stuetz,

Could you please paste here the complete error that is printed out to the terminal? @bellenot, have you seen this before?

Cheers,
J.

I’m afraid there is too little information here… Please provide exactly what you’re doing

OK, thanks. Please check that you’re running ROOT in a Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 that corresponds to the architecture you compiled ROOT for (e.g. x86 or x64)
