Legacy GM Windows (YYC ) on Windows 10

Having issues atm with trying to test a project with the YYC compiler on Windows 10. All settings are "ok", i've installed Visual studio community (what I used on a windows 7 laptop and have it work just fine) Upon compiling I get this sort of error repeatedly, but with different scripts.

In file included from C:/Users/Person/Documents/GameMaker/Cache/"Project"
08/Default/Scripts/gml_Object_object_Alarm_10.gml.cpp:1:
In file included from C:\Users\Person\AppData\Roaming\GameMaker-Studio\YYC\include\YYGML.h:5:
C:\Users\Person\AppData\Roaming\GameMaker-Studio\YYC\include/YYStd.h:33:10: fatal error: 'malloc.h' file not found
#include <malloc.h>

(Just a one of the "generated errors," all of which are structured the exact same, just for different objects and events)
Using the normal Windows runner works normally.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you're using vs2015 + Windows YYC, you have to tick Windows 8.0/8.1 during installation, which will install the SDKs and compilers that works with GMS. Next, in settings->windows change the 8.0 to 8.1 and it can then find what it needs for windows yyc to compile.

I have both UWP and 8/8.1 tools installed. I also had the sdk on 8.1. sdk 10 turns back an error that windows.h is missing. 8.0 spits out the same errors the 8.1 sdk had (the one I have been using).

Would using Visual Studio community (I presume 2015?) have any large substantial difference?

as far as I knew, up until I read post 5, MS dev 2012 was the dev studio you need to use...

Visual studio 12 seems to get farther. But I still get an issue:

I also get warnings (not errors) of this nature:

Reinstall/Repair Visual Studio as it appears to not have installed correctly, we see this frequently - just rerun the installer and hit Repair, it should fix it

Yes, it's a warning

if(sbuiltin_alarm>.5 == -1)

sbuiltin_alarm>.5 gives 0 or 1. 0 or 1 will NEVER equate -1. so the equation will always be false

comparison of constant -1 with expression of type 'bool' is always false

@rwkay Should this really cause the compiler to exit?

@icuurd12b42 No, that is just a warning. The compiler is exiting because of this
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libcpmt.lib'

C++ does handle everything that !=1 as false, so I'm not even sure why that throws a warning.

@Cpaz
Have you tried clearing the project cache? My YYC won't compile after a while and throws link errors, I just clear the cache and its all good.

Huh. That worked! Thanks a ton!
(I haven't tried to do a full compile, but I compiled it for debug mode. It should yield the same results.)

Yeah I don't know why it works or what causes it. Every now and again it'll come back, so just clear the cache again.

Cheers
