Any tips for rebuilding noble-winrt?

Thank you and Timeular for working on noble-winrt, I'm very hopeful this gets merged into noble soon.

I'm facing similar struggles to issue #11, with the exception that I'm trying to build for nw.js. Rather than having you specify every possible version of electron and nw.js in appveyor, do you have any tips for the correct dev setup for building noble-winrt?

I have Visual Studio 2017 installed along with all of the build tools but am facing tons of errors when trying to rebuild (most along the lines of \noble-winrt\src\napi_winrt.h(7): error C2065: 'UUID': undeclared identifier)

I've tried running:

• prebuild -t 0.34.5 -r node-webkit
• nw-gyp rebuild --target=0.34.5 --arch=ia32
• node-gyp rebuild
• prebuild -t 6.14.4 -t 8.12.0 -r node

All producing the same errors (error_log.log)

Hi @ELundby45,
Have you installed the matching Windows 10 SDK (at least build 10.0.17134.0)? If yes, which version of the SDK are you using?
Which version of Visual Studio 2017 are you using?

Maybe including rpc.h (#include <rpc.h>) in napi_winrt.h could solve the problem...

@geovie I have installed the SDKs and it is trying to use 10.0.17763.0 (according to node-gyp configure --verbose)

Visual Studio 2017 v15.9.3

Including rpc.h did remove some of the errors, but still getting quite a few. Do you mind sharing which Visual Studio version and SDK version have worked for you? I can try downgrading.

Looks like the API changed between 10.0.17134.0 and 10.0.17763.0 (it uses now winrt::guid instead of GUID/UUID ). For now it should work if you downgrade to SDK 10.0.17134.0, I will update the code later this week

Got it working. Thank you very much!
