Newly compiled FreeCAD.exe unable to start

[johnwang]

Hi,

Using MSVC2019, I have compiled current github src and the FreeCADLibs_12.5.4_x64_VC17.

After configure FREECAD_COPY_DEPEND_DIRS_TO_BUILD and LIBPACK_BIN_TO_BUILD, there are only 36 files under the bin folder. These is a message box saying FreeCAD.exe unable to start correctly.

What's wrong I made? I have no problem to do that with MSVC2017 before.

Thanks for help.

cheers,

John

The most likely problem is that you did not copy the dependencies as noted in the instructions. After the second pass of "Configure" go back and check the three "copy" boxes and run Configure once more. Only then should you finish by running "Generate".

I Configured a few times. The ticks are on. Generated one time. Don't remember If I need to Generate with VC17.

Anyway, I copied everything from the bin folder of the lib and seems all working.

Thanks.
