Error in triplet x64 windows unable to find a valid visual studio instance

Okay I think I managed to build a statically linked binary with commit e5c47e911b2e94bc2864db915ed259af1ee9a765.
Here are the steps:

Building with MinGW64 (MSYS2)

1. Get Vulkan SDK and install dependencies

pacman -Syu git make mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

python-pip and some other libraries do not seem to be used.

2. Setup environment variables

PATH={Absolute path to the Bin folder in Vulkan SDK}:$PATH
export VCPKG_DEFAULT_HOST_TRIPLET=x64-mingw-static
export VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET=x64-mingw-static

We have to manually set some VCPKG variables for some reason.
This issue probably already exists in the original Yuzu.

3. Generating makefile

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DSUYU_USE_BUNDLED_VCPKG=ON -DSUYU_TESTS=OFF -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-mingw-static ..

Also have to overwrite DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET to x64-mingw-static here.
I have also tried -DSUYU_ENABLE_LTO=ON, which leads to the linker error above.

4. Build suyu

make -j4 suyu

The reason we are not using make all is that linker will fail.
This is because Yuzu developer didn’t set linker flags properly in their CMakeLists.txt for some reason. So we have add something manually.

VERBOSE=1 make suyu

This will shows the exact link command, should be something like:

cd ***/src/suyu && /mingw64/bin/c++.exe -O3 -DNDEBUG -Wl,--subsystem,windows -Wl,--whole-archive ...

Copy the command line and add the following arguments:

-static-libstdc++ -lws2_32 -s -Wl,--Map,../../bin/suyu.map

Explanation of the extra arguments:

• -static-libstdc++: Force usage of static libstdc++, without this argument the binary will have no entrypoint.
• -lws2_32: Link the ws2_32.a provided by mingw.
• -s: Optional, strip the symbols from the output binary.
• -Wl,--Map,../../bin/suyu.map: Optional, output a separated linker map to ../../bin/suyu.map
  Please note that -lw2_32 is already added, but the order is not correct and hence cause linking fails.

Now the built executable should work properly. Repeating step 4 should build suyu-cmd as well.
Some dll (e.g., Qt) are still required as they cannot being linked statically. Copying dll from the latest release also works.

Summary

After all, there could be three issues.

1. Update the Outdated Building Guide

As above.

2. Fix (Static) Linking

Add some option to CMakeLists.txt so that we could build static linked binaries properly with the build system.
For example, adding something like:

if (MINGW and SUYU_STATIC_BUILD)
    set_target_properties(suyu PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "-static-libstdc++ -lws2_32")
    set_target_properties(suyu PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS_RELEASE "-s -Wl,--Map,../../bin/suyu.map")
endif()

to src/suyu/CMakeLists.txt and src/suyu-cmd/CMakeLists.txt.
I am not very familiar with cmake so this may not be totally correct.

And, please note that adding -lws2_32 is just a temporary solution.
The link order should be fixed properly in CMakeList.txt as well.

3. Fix Broken LTO Option

When link time optimization (LTO) is enabled, link process would be somehow broken.
I am not pretty sure what was the cause, but it’s likely because the link order is not correct as mentioned previously.

После изучения руководства по vcpkg с cmake. Cmake не смог распознать «MinGW Makefiles» с помощью vcpkg.
Некоторая информация о моей системе
Я использую 64-разрядную версию Windows и скачал mingw из winlibs и добавил его в «PATH», а cmake (версия 3.31.3) скачал с официального сайта в виде zip-файла, также добавил его в «PATH», и vcpkg с в руководстве добавлено добавление «VCPKG_ROOT» и пути к нему в качестве переменной ENVIRONMENT и еще раз в «PATH».
каталог helloworld:

• vcpkg.json:

• Cmakelists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

}
}
]
}

Проблема
После помещения всего этого в каталог helloworld. Я использовал команду «cmake —preset=default» внутри каталога helloworld, и она вывела следующую ошибку:

Preset CMake variables:

CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"

Preset environment variables:

VCPKG_ROOT="C:/vcpkg"

и внутри «C:/helloworld/build/vcpkg-manifest-install.log» это:

Я должен упомянуть, что cmake может распознавать «MinGW Makefiles», но без vcpkg.
Поэтому я не думаю, что это проблема в моем «PATH». «, или любую переменную среды в моей системе.
Это «version_info.txt» для используемой версии winlib:

winlibs personal build version gcc-14.2.0-llvm-19.1.1-mingw-w64ucrt-12.0.0-r2

This is the winlibs Intel/AMD 64-bit standalone build of:
- GCC 14.2.0
- GDB 15.2
- LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB 19.1.1
- MinGW-w64 12.0.0 (linked with ucrt)

Решение
После этого вопроса об использовании пользовательских триплетов с vcpkg и CMake, а также документации vcpkg.
Я добавил триплеты dir и внутри он x64-mingw-dynamic и x64-mingw-static загружен с github здесь и изменен CmakePresets.json на:

{
"version": 2,
"configurePresets": [
{
"name": "vcpkg",
"generator": "MinGW Makefiles",
"hidden": true,
"binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/build",
"cacheVariables": {
"VCPKG_OVERLAY_TRIPLETS": "${sourceDir}/triplets",
"CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
}
},
{
"name": "mingw64",
"hidden": true,
"cacheVariables": {
"VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET": "x64-mingw-static",
"VCPKG_HOST_TRIPLET": "x64-mingw-static"
}
}
]
}

и изменил CmakeUserPresets.json на:

{
"version": 2,
"configurePresets": [
{
"name": "default",
"inherits": ["vcpkg", "mingw64"],
"environment": {
"VCPKG_ROOT": "C:/vcpkg"
}
}
]
}

, и я запустил «cmake —preset=default»thin «cmake —build build»thin наконец «./build/HelloWorld.exe», и он вывел: «Hello World !».
