To compile you need Visual Studio 2019. Free Community edition works.

I tend to update to the latest release of Visual Studio. Lately C++ evolves quickly and Visual Studio constantly adds latest capabilities. If things don't compile, first make sure you're using the latest version of Visual Studio.

Open vs2019/SumatraPDF.sln when using Visual Studio 2019

You need at least version 16.4 of Visual Studio 2019.

Notes on targets:

• x32_sp target is for building for Windows XP and requires v141_xp toolset, which is an optional component of Visual Studio setup
• x32_asan target is for enabling address sanitizer, only works in 32-bit Release build and requires installing an optional "C++ AddressSanitizers" component (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/addresssanitizer-asan-for-windows-with-msvc/ for more information)

Asan notes

Flags: https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/SanitizerCommonFlags Can be set with env variable:

• ASAN_OPTIONS=allocator_may_return_null=1:verbosity=1:check_malloc_usable_size=false:suppressions="C:\Users\kjk\src\sumatrapdf\asan.supp"

In Visual Studio, this is in Debugging, Environment section.

Supressing issues: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html#issue-suppression Note: I couldn't get supressing to work.
