I followed your instructions, I believe. The configuration in VS looks like this: But at least I'm getting new errors (sigh): I'm getting tired.

Hi all, I cannot include the usual version info here since my build is broken. :( I just built from the latest master (as of 1PM CDT 14Apr21) using the latest VS2019. I have Python 3.8.9 installed, but the CMake config shows that it's pointing to the versions in the libpack. The build was successful...

Hi, I've gotten through the startup issue; there's a folder that needs to be deleted (according to StackOverflow). Build completes with no errors. After I launched FC for the first time and installed Python 3.8.9 in response to complaints (and then restarted), checking the CMake config shows that it...

Hi, Selecting the folder within the Zip-generated folder for the lib pack was the solution (I keep forgetting the Zip standard creates a single wrapping folder, even around a single folder :evil: ) However, starting up the newly installed and updated VS2019 is taking forever. How long should I expec...

Thanks in advance for your help!! I have attached screenshots of all of CMake Gui and the output file. The output in the gui is this: (Don't understand why it can't find the lib pack!!) Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.19041.0 to target Windows 10.0.19042. Compiler: MSVC, version: 19.28.29913.0 pr...

Hi, The selected input directory is "E:/Dev/FreeCAD19_Source/FreeCAD", which is what you specified. Output directory is "E:/Dev/FreeCAD19_Output". Libpack is at "E:/Dev/FreeCAD19_Source/FreeCADLibs_12.5.2_x64_VC17". Libpack version is "NOTFOUND". I replaced th...

Hi all, I have a fresh install of VS2019 and the corresponding lib_pack. I'm partway through the CMake configuration process when it fails with the following error: CMake Error at src/Base/CMakeLists.txt:186 (fc_wrap_cpp): Unknown CMake command "fc_wrap_cpp". I would appreciate a suggestio...

Thanks for the info. I'll do this tomorrow. As far as I can tell, I should only need to tell CMake that I'm using VS2019 as the generator.

Hi,

Should I uninstall VS2017 and replace it with VS2019? If not, what version would you recommend?

I think it would be nice if the decision to drop VS2017 were to be publicly announced, in a fairly prominent way.

Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hi, I can't include the usual version info here because my build failed badly. I apologize. I did a pull on the latest source (9AM CDT 11Apr21), then did my usual process of invoking CMake followed by VS2017. I had encountered build errors previously so I did a clean before the build. I have include...
