Re: [brlcad-devel] Trouble setting up VStudio

[Mario M. <mr....@gm...>]

I noticed that cmake actually links the AWK entry to my mingw 'gawk.exe'
file, so I was right with my guess.

After updating to the latest commit available (which is 70194 at the time
of writing) i get this cmake error on windows:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:369 (_add_library):
Cannot find source file:

C:/Users/MEISSNERBLANCOJOHANN/Desktop/brlcad/build/src/
other/libpng/pngprefix.h

Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp
.hxx .in .txx
Call Stack (most recent call first):
src/other/libpng/CMakeLists.txt:370 (add_library)

CMake Error: CMake can not determine linker language for target: png

CMake Error: CMake can not determine linker language for target: png_static


Interestingly enough on the Ubuntu subsystem it works just fine.
