The command "C:\WINDOWS\System32\chcp.com 65001 >NUL

[btbass]

When trying to compile a c or c++ file in Visual Studio, I get the error

‘The command “C:\WINDOWS\System32\chcp.com 65001 >NUL’

Sometimes a line like

cout << “Failed to init bcm2835” << endl;

will cause the error?

and sometimes it will build ok with that line???

Hi,

Please try checking the output window (View->Output) for the complete build log. It should contain more information about the error, explaining what exactly went wrong.

If you are not sure, please share the entire log and we will help you understand it.

P.S. Please consider using MSBuild or Advanced CMake instead of GNU Make. It is much better integrated with the VS GUI and will have a much lower chance of random failures due to misaligned settings.

I was using GNU Make, I have switched to using MSBuild and the problem has gone away.

Thanks for the helpful suggestion.
