cairo-windows: Devenv.com: Command Not Found

Thanks so much for sharing this with the community ❤️

I am trying to follow the steps you laid out here and I also referenced the cairo end-to-end build win32 instructions. I installed Visual Studio Build Tools 2017, and then after that tried to install Visual Studio Community 2017 as well. I am getting the following error:

build-cairo-windows.sh: line 69: devenv.com: command not found FAILED COMMAND: devenv.com "projects\vstudio\vstudio.sln" -upgrade

Is there something different I need to install to get devenv.com? Do I need to get an older version of Microsoft Visual C++ Studio Express? I tried looking it up, but I had a hard time finding good information. Thanks!

Did you open “x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017” as mentioned in the README, or did you open a regular command prompt? The former should work because devenv.com will be found in your PATH; the latter won’t.
