Oh no, not just my build server, Microsofts build server… Everyones’ Azure build server - (if you’re building on windows)
Isn’t that an IDE? Why would a build server need that? Sigh.
For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.
Can be installed standalone but it’s typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it’s better to include the entire kitchen.
For C, I use Makefiles. The Microsoft ecosystem sounds like a nightmare.
They started at Java’s build system and set a course for Hell.
Maven works without an IDE. (And so does ant if you’re going back that far.)
And really early Java we used Makefiles.
Anyway all of that worked without an IDE.
Hey hey hey, put some respect on Java, we don’t need certificates to compile our shit.
Fron what I gather, visual studio is a horrible monolith that also contains C/C++/C++++ build stuff.
