How to build?

[Xan-Kun]

I really would love to use and enhance the project, but I can't get it to build. I would love to write a wiki page as soon as I figure out how to get it up and running.
The furthest I got with VS2013 was two errors when compiling:
Error 1 Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder. C:\dev2\geckofxHtmlToPdf-master\src\EXEC geckofxHtmlToPdf
Error 2 The command "IF EXIST "%VS140COMNTOOLS%" CALL "%VS140COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
IF EXIST "%VS120COMNTOOLS%" CALL "%VS120COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
IF EXIST "%VS110COMNTOOLS%" CALL "%VS110COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
IF EXIST "%VS100COMNTOOLS%" CALL "%VS100COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"

editbin.exe /largeaddressaware "C:\dev2\geckofxHtmlToPdf-master\output\Debug\GeckofxHtmlToPdf.exe"" exited with code -1. geckofxHtmlToPdf

Could you please give me hint into the right direction?

Very best regards,

Did you see the instructions in the ReadMe.md about using nuget to get the dependencies and extracting xulrunner?

The only other thing I can think of that might be going wrong is that VS14 is, I believe, Visual Studio 2015. We intended this project to build with older versions, but something that requires VS2015 may have crept in. There is a free community edition of VS2015, so you may have more success building with that.

Please let us know if you still have problems.

Hi and thanks for the response. I also think it has something to do with the VisualStudio and maybe I should up- or downgrade :-) Nevertheless, your code was by far the best example there is for printing with geckofx and I understood the XPcom(?) Interface and how to handle it thanks to you code.
