[Bundlex] attempting to compile projects fail on windows

[ValorZard]

** (Mix) Bundlex: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat script within Visual Studio root directory. Is your Visual Studio installation valid? (and file is in VC directory?)
i keep getting this error and its really annoying,
it seems to be an issue with how https://github.com/membraneframework/bundlex/blob/240f889a26c3e974d3faea36a27849bdd6c27ff2/lib/bundlex/toolchain/visual_studio.ex is hardcoded

Hi there, the support for Windows in Bundlex is quite poor, and we can't prioritize it anytime soon. We help anyone from the community who contributes though. There were some fixes recently thanks to @harrisi, but it may not be enough to compile Exray. Here's the relevant discussion.

There are a few things with the project setup of exray which don't allow for Windows compilation without some changes, such as relying on a Linux tarball of raylib, so you may want to open an issue over there as well.

For what it's worth, the path for vcvarsall.bat isn't hardcoded anymore, specifically to fix this issue. It uses vswhere.exe to find it, so as long as your dev environment is set up correctly, it should find it. It runs "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe" -property installationPath -latest, which if that doesn't return the correct path, I'm guessing msvc isn't set up correctly.

You can also always try using the custom compiler toolchain and use zig cc. I had some luck with that before.

Okay, it seems we forgot to release @harrisi's latest PR... It's now released as https://github.com/membraneframework/bundlex/releases/tag/v1.5.4
