the documentation says
"The compilation is performed using the MinGW GCC C++ compiler"

however -
the "Build Advanced Custom Studies DLL" uses MS Studio commands and asks to download MS Studio

though there is a C:\MinGW folder w/ 32 bit GCC installed it is worthless

So this is unclear ...pls clarify

This compiler is used when you use the "Remote Build" command only.

We will update the documentation.

the documentation says that "remote build" is executed on Sierra's server
and for that matter i don't need to install anything locally

if DLL creation is done reotely then ...
- why there is an "install compiler" button ?
- why there is a "Build Custom Studies DLL" button

does "remore build" transfers the source code to Sierra's server ?

I have installed MS Visual Studio

After running "Build Custom Studies DLL" the following output is emmited

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: jabot.cpp. -- 01:43:39

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C "E:\Sierra\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat"


E:\Sierra\ACS_Source>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
jabot.cpp
e:\sierra\acs_source\scstructures.h(6): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory
-- End of Build -- 01:43:40

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

where is this file (windows.h) ?

This is if you want to use Visual C++ and compile locally:
- why there is an "install compiler" button ?
- why there is a "Build Custom Studies DLL" button


does "remore build" transfers the source code to Sierra's server ?
Yes but the source code is deleted immediately after.

where is this file (windows.h) ?
This is a Microsoft compiler issue. We do not provide support for the compiler so we cannot help with that. You should use the Remote Build feature. It is easiest.

using the "remore build" is inconcievable

appreciate if you can release instructions as for constructing a DLL using MS Visual Studio

Maybe the problem with this is because you have Sierra Chart installed on a different drive other than the main Windows drive. We are not really sure since this would be a Microsoft compiler issue.

Why do you say this?
