Guide for troubleshooting Visual Studio 15 errors?

[kfjustis]

Hello!

I just tried building Dolphin for the first time with Visual Studio 2015, but I'm running into lots of errors. I already followed the "Building for Windows" guide on the GitHub wiki so I was wondering if there was another guide somewhere that addresses common build errors. That being said, this is also the first time in several years that I've used Visual Studio for anything, so I wouldn't be surprised if the problems were related to my installation. I'll post an image just in case and apologies in advance if this isn't the right section for this topic.

Thanks!

Managed to fix the "Cannot open include file" errors by installing a standard library module. Currently, I'm grappling with a bunch of "Cannot open precompiled header file" errors, but I'm not sure what sort of settings could surround this type of error.

I re-targeted all of the projects to make sure they were the correct version for the Windows 10 SDK, but I'm still getting a few errors. Somehow, most are syntax errors, which makes me think I'm using the wrong compiler. Any tips on how to fix that would be great!

Would it be worth it for me to post this as an issue in the bug tracker? I didn't initially cause I felt like it was my inexperience with the environment, but if other people are having this problem...

Problem solved! I just kept re-targeting the solution until it liked the settings. I believe the last thing I changed was to the same Windows 10 SDK version as on the GitHub wiki guide, but I also chose to update to v141. If anyone else runs into this, I hope it helps!
