Pin Tool Building Issues in Windows

[Pradhan__Bhakta]

Hi,

Before I start in case I should post this question in a different section, please let me know I would be happy to move it.

I'm currently facing the below issue while building the PinTool.

Below is the environment:

Operating SystemS: windows 7 x64 sp1

Visual Studio: 2012

Pin Tool :- 3.7.97

After running make command as per REDME file I'm getting the below error.

C:\PinTool\source\tools\SimpleExamples>make obj-intel64/opcodemix.dll
mkdir -p obj-intel64/

make: *** [../../../source/tools/Config/makefile.default.rules:196: obj-intel64/
opcodemix.obj] Error 2

Please let me know how can I fix it?

I tried some old PinTool releases that also giving me the same error.

Thanks,

I had the same issue.  Was using:

x86_64

Windows 10

Visual Studio 2019

Pin 3.20

Had added cygwin64/bin to my Path

-------

Error was on this command: "make.exe obj-intel64/inscount1.dll TARGET=intel64", and I received the same error as reported above.

Line 83 of char_traits.h is: _STLP_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(streamsize)==sizeof(void*)). Thinking that some pointer size was off, I decided to try the same command for the ia32 and it compiled with no errors.

Turns out I was using "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019", which initialized the environment for "x86" instead of x86_64. I switched to "x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 and the compilation worked with the following output:
