Compilation fails about electron-screen HOT 5 CLOSED

OK, I re-installed VS 2013 and

set VCTargetsPath=C:\Program\ Files\ \(x86\)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140

Now I get

..\src\screen.cc(66): error C2664: 'BOOL EnumDisplayMonitors(HDC,LPCRECT,MONITORENUMPROC,LPARAM)' : Konvertierung von Argument 3 von 'BOOL (__cdecl *)(HMONITOR,HDC,LPRECT,LPARAM)' in 'MONITORENUMPROC' nicht möglich [C:\test\src\node_modules\electron-screen\build\electronscreen.vcxproj]
Keine Funktion mit diesem Namen im Gültigkeitsbereich stimmt mit dem Zieltyp überein

Sorry, I have a German version…

Hi, I used VS2015.
Inside the C++ code I'm using a Windows specific library, probably you just need Visual C++ Redistributable.

Can you translate your stack error in english please?

from electron-screen.

I started from scratch and set up a fresh Win 10 VM (no VS) and installed the VC++ Redistributable you linked to.

npm install --save electron-screen threw

MSBUILD : error MSB4132: The tools version 2.0 is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "4.0".

I Installed Microsoft Build Tools 2015 which resulted in MSBUILD : error MSB4132: The tools version 2.0 is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "14.0", "4.0".

So I tried to do npm install --save electron-screen --msvs_version=2015 wich resulted in

C:\Users\atietje\dev\test\node_modules\electron-screen\build\electronscreen.vcxproj(20,3): error MSB4019:  The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.
Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

When I had installed VS 2013 I got the error mentioned in my above comment wich translates to

..\src\screen.cc(66): error C2664: 'BOOL EnumDisplayMonitors(HDC,LPCRECT,MONITORENUMPROC,LPARAM)' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'BOOL (__cdecl *)(HMONITOR,HDC,LPRECT,LPARAM)' to 'MONITORENUMPROC' [C:\test\src\node_modules\electron-screen\build\electronscreen.vcxproj]
None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type

I made a commit that probably will solve you problem, let me know.

from electron-screen.

I've updated the docs with the build instructions and I have no problem using the module under Windows 10.
