Is building a Linux Executable through WSL CLI and Visual Studio 2022 supported?

[KeshavGuptaBentley]

I've been looking into your project and trying to build your CS_CPP_Interop example project.

Using the template, while I am able to build through the command line on linux/wsl to get linux executables, it breaks building through Visual Studio. I get one of 3 errors in visual studio:

• Is your PATH and ENV variables correct? Command to run was g++ -fmax-errors=1000 -I "..\DynamicLib" -I "..\StaticLib" -DUNIX -D_DEBUG -D_CONSOLE -Wall -Wno-comment -Wno-parentheses -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-write-strings -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-attributes -fpermissive -x c++ -g2 -gdwarf-2 -m64 -w -MM stdafx.cpp.
• error MSB4057: The target "Build" does not exist in the project
• Sequence contains no elements

Once I try to build through visual studio, it then breaks building through the command line causing both methods to fail after this.

I have also followed the steps outlined in your blog post here: https://medium.com/@roozbehid/c-c-net-core-cross-platform-cross-compiler-development-5abc0b8dd4cc but I get the same errors outlined above.

As a result, I have a few questions I'm hoping you can answer,

• Is this project supported in Visual Studio 2022?
• I want to use this template to build a linux executable for my C# and CPP interop solution both through visual studio and the linux command line. Is this functionality supported?
• For the PATH or ENV variable error, is there something specific that the variable should point to? I haven't found any mention of how to configure the PATH/ENV variable.
• Is this project still actively maintained?

I'm looking forward to your response.
