In #1516, I added
prefer_clang_cl_over_msvc. I wanted to test the scenario where Visual Studio is installed, but not the Clang build tools, to see how things would behave. The result is this expected error:While the docs at https://docs.rs/cc/latest/cc/#compile-time-requirements are pretty clear already, I think it can add some value if we'd add some specific instructions for the case where
clang-cl.exeisn't found.My intention is to add a "sub-bullet" under the main MSVC bullet, but I'm not sure how this will render. Let me know if you think I should word or structure things differently.
