sln file not compiling?

Question

C++ / C#

I downloaded a library written in C, there is a sln file inside, the instructions indicate that it must be compiled so as not to download the bulky visual studio, I download msbuild and added it to the path, go to the console, move to the library directory, write the msbuild file.sln , the process started, and gives 6 errors, all the same error msb4019 imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Check the path in the ad and check if the file exists on disk. As I understand it, this file is not enough for her, how to install and connect it correctly?

Answer 1

try to use msbuild.exe directly from msbuild folder and not from others. In general, if you love Windows so much, then use MS VisualStudio, and if you want to control and understand everything yourself, use g ++ and something open-source. Somehow it makes more sense :)
