Description
sc.ini [Environment64]: the installer detects VS 2017 (%VCINSTALLDIR%, L47) correctly but (L54) sets:
LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\HostX86\x86\link.exe
In my scenario (see bellow) this leads to following error:
fatal error C1905: Front end and back end not compatible (must target same processor).
LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed
Error: linker exited with status 1257
dmd failed with exit code 1257.
The error does not occur when sc.ini L54 is changed to:
LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\HostX86\x64\link.exe
or
LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe
I assume that the path variable set at L62 should be change correspondingly, but had no issues with it so far.
My scenario is a mixed c++/s project. I am linking to a c++ static library which I build myself with VS2017 for x64 (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui).
