I am trying to build libarchive for c++ Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Everything seems to be fine, the tests run OK, up until I get the following error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(151,5): error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code -1073741571.

Build FAILED.

I have googled and searched for this exact error on SO but cannot find anything.

Thank you.

  • Wild guess, maybe a post-build event which fails? Also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22547403/msb6006-cmd-exe-exited-with-code-1073741571 – stijn May 28 '15 at 17:10
  • So how would I track that down? I know very little about this, mostly I write code. – ees May 28 '15 at 19:02
  • Open the project file (vcproj) ina text editor. Usually it just contains compiler/linker options and the source file list. If there are any special build events you should easily see them – stijn May 29 '15 at 09:32
