Re: [Audacity-devel] local build problem on Windows

Patch is attached.  I don’t feel like hassling with a pull request just for this…times are a changing.  😊

Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on.  It builds if I configure with:

 

cmake -Daudacity_use_pch=no

 

It doesn’t build if I configure with:

 

cmake -Daudacity_use_pch=yes

 

I thought I understood why, but every “workaround” I’ve tried so far has failed…grrrrrr

Hold off…this may be incorrect.  Still digging.

Paul, the problem is that using “/FI” to force include configwin.h overrides the method used by CMake to include the precompiled headers. I’m trying to devise some sort of workaround, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.

Yea, it broke the use of precompiled headers on Windows.  Looking into it…

Subject: [Audacity-devel] local build problem on Windows

 

Problems with my local build, using VS 2019, and using VS's cmake, as in the build instructions in win/build.txt.

Starting with the recent commit: 794f4e5877195e28afb230f2cdff166410fd5e37,

I'm getting the build errors shown below,

David.
