Build requirements

  • Visual Studio 2013 or above. It builds using VS 2015, but some issues occurred with the debugger.
  • Run the following from Windows Command prompt (cmd.exe) to restore nugets. Just restoring in Visual Studio isn't enough, as the build definition already depends on one of the nugets (ANTLR).
cd vowpalwabbit
nuget\NuGet.exe restore vw.sln

Random tips

  • Select x64 platform (Configuration Manager \ Active solution platfrom)
  • Select x64 as test platform (Test \ Test settings \ Default Processor Architecture)
  • Don't trust the Visual Studio 2013 debugger on stack frames in C++/CLI. We observed bogus values. Moving to C++ or C# everything was correct.
