Load Visual Studio Environment on GIT Bash.sh

# Add to ~/.bashrc
# call load_msenv from a shell to load the enviroment
function load_msenv() {
  local msenv="$HOME/.msenv_bash"
  if [ ! -f "$msenv" ]; then
    local msenvbatch="__print_ms_env.bat"
    echo "@echo off" > "$msenvbatch"
    echo "call ${VS140COMNTOOLS}..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat x64" >> "$msenvbatch"
    echo "set" >> "$msenvbatch"
    cmd "/C $msenvbatch" > "$msenv.tmp"
    rm -f "$msenvbatch"

    grep -E '^PATH=' "$msenv.tmp" | \
      sed \
        -e 's/\(.*\)=\(.*\)/export \1="\2"/g' \
        -e 's/\([a-zA-Z]\):[\\\/]/\/\1\//g' \
        -e 's/\\/\//g' \
        -e 's/;\//:\//g' \
      > "$msenv"

    # Don't mess with CL compilation env
    grep -E '^(INCLUDE|LIB|LIBPATH)=' "$msenv.tmp" | \
      sed \
        -e 's/\(.*\)=\(.*\)/export \1="\2"/g' \
      >> "$msenv"
    
    rm "$msenv.tmp"
  fi

  source "$msenv"
}

export -f load_msenv

Thanks! Note that you may need to add extra quotes around ${VS140COMNTOOLS}..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat depending on... I'm not sure what exactly, but I know I did.

Thanks. I made a fork with some improvements:

• Tried to make paths generic
• Works with both VS 2017 and VS 2019

Did not work for me :(
Not even with sudo load_msenv.
I expect afterwards that ninja --version would be working, but it still says bash: ninja: command not found.
