I am trying to build a study using code provided on github which can be found here: https://github.com/FrozenTundraTrader/sierrachart/blob/main/google_sheets_importer.cpp It appears that the code works fine as many other people have been able to use it and get it to work, however when I try and remote build I keep getting the message The remote build did not succeed. Result: Failed to generate the build environment. With no further explanation of what the issue is, any help on this matter would be much appreciated. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-04-08 13:28:30

Can confirm also having this problem with builds that previously succeeded: ************************************************************************************************* -- Starting remote build of Custom Studies Source files: trendFinder.cpp. 64-bit -- 09:48:16 Allow time for the server to compile the files and build the DLL. The remote build did not succeed. Result: Failed to generate the build environment. -- End of Build -- 09:48:17

Can also confirm, having this problem with any and all builds attempted using Remote Compiler. Appears to have started malfunctioning in the last 12 to 18 hours since this post (4/8/2023 ~11:20am ET). -- Starting remote build of Custom Studies Source files: AnyCustomStudyFile.cpp. 64-bit -- 11:17:30 Allow time for the server to compile the files and build the DLL. The remote build did not succeed. Result: Failed to generate the build environment. -- End of Build -- 11:17:31

With Windows, it would be so much easier to do local build with Microsoft's free Visual Studio Community Version, once installed, you don't even need to know how to use or run Visual Studio, Sierra will automatically detect its path and process local build.

Same remote build issue, failing to generate environment. Thank you Tony (above), I will try this! UPDATE For anyone who comes across this, who might benefit from local compiling, I managed to make visual studios compile custom studies locally. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-04-08 20:48:38

The Remote Build issue is resolved now. Regarding post #7. This is the relevant line: #include <windows.h> //Main Windows SDK header file This header file should absolutely be available to the Visual C++ compiler. We would not know why there is an issue. Are you using the build commands for Visual C++ from within Sierra Chart? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
