@retep998 If Rust is able to use lld would that allow building standalone binaries without any VS tools?

@johnthagen lld (not ldd) is a replacement for link.exe. It is not a complete toolchain and does not replace the need for the Windows SDK and VC++ runtime bits.

@retep998 Thanks for the info! (Corrected the name in the original post as well).
Visual C++ tools is not installed by default, please go to Control Panel -> Uninstall a program, select visual studio , right click, Change -> Modify, to see if the Visual C++ tools is selected, if it isn't selected, it means that you didn't install the visual C++ tool, please select it and then follow the installation steps to install it.

But i'm not sure if it is fully automatic and/or does work as expected.
