Hi all. I haven’t used C++ for 20 years so please bear with me. Though I had 12 years commercial C++ before that and now have 20 years commercial C# experience.

Anyway. I find I need to build a small program for RPI and I loathe Python, so I thought, how hard can it be, right? 🙂

I am using VS2022 community on a Win10 platform. RPI has latest Debian-ish Raspberry OS.

I followed the instructions at
https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/raspberry/crosscompiler/
and got everything up and running:
Linux project wizard, Application, MSBuild, Raspberry Pi cross toolchain, linked OK to the RPI via SSH
except when the project template wizard finished I got an exception:
VisualGDB version: 5.6.104.4534
------------------ System.ArgumentException ------------------
System.ArgumentException: Invalid ruleset name: ConfigurationGeneral
at g22.SetCustomPropertyValue(String a, String b, String c)
at xx.k(cw1 a, IProjectEditContext c, o b, nz1 d, t f, Boolean g, z[] e)
at uk3.i(LinuxWizardState d, cw1 a, String b, String e, nz1 c)
at uk3.DoRunWizardOrThrowException(nz1 a, String c, String b)
at r22`1.Execute(Object e, IntPtr a, Object[]& c, Object[]& b, wizardResult& d)</code>
<code>trace=[g22.SetCustomPropertyValue:41, xx.k:404, uk3.i:523, uk3.DoRunWizardOrThrowException:642, r22`1.Execute:210]

And building I get
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB4019 The imported project "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.cpp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\\Microsoft.cpp.targets" is correct, and that the file exists on disk. LinuxProject2 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170\Microsoft.Cpp.ToolsetLocation.targets 21

When I look at the HelloWorld example code (I have Resharper C++ installed) I see that
#include <iostream>
isn’t found.

The VisualGDB blurb said it was clever and would sort out all the includes…. so I’m worried.
Conversely it’s entirely possible I’ve just not installed something right.

Thoughts? Many thanks.
