Build Error on windows

[simar1998]

Hey guys, I am trying to build this project on windows 11 and I am running into issues with the bat file throwing errors. What annoys me is that this worked previously without any issues however now it seems to be not compiling even though its a fresh source download.

I have all the dependencies installed, as stated previously it generated fine previously.

[stuomas]

Have you deleted old build and deps/build directories?

[simar1998]

Yes I have, however the error persists unfortunately. Here is the end of the output message of the build_release.bat file

It's different error though, so progress in a way :)

So are you building deps or using the pre-built ones? (you mentioned you have all deps installed)

[simar1998]

Unfortunately no progress has been made. I have no idea how it worked last time. I am going to create a fresh windows vm and see if that helps at this point.

[stuomas]

That very much sounds like you haven't deleted the two build directories and then git pull, but I believe you when you said so :)

[simar1998]

Thank you for your comment, so I delete the entire deps dir and the build ? Right now I only delete deps/build and the build dir in the root directory. I am assuming that the git pull is to redownload the deleted deps files.

[simar1998]

Although a repo from the release gives errors when the build_release.bat file is run. Would you have any suggestions on how to set this project up in a dev environment ? I am kinda new to c++.

[simar1998]

I have made some progress, now I am getting the following error. @stuomas

[simar1998]

SOLVED, the issue was solved for me by Xero, I had additional dependencies installed which were causing issues with cmake. I had added open cascade, wxwidgets etc. after uninstall the bat file with make commands worked fine!
