cmake problems when generating visual studio project #200

Closed delphifirst closed 2 years ago

delphifirst commented 2 years ago

When I clicked "Configure" to generate visual studio project, I got the following error:

CMake Error at DiligentCore/BuildUtils.cmake:314 (add_custom_command):
  add_custom_command called with OUTPUT containing a "<".  This character is
  not allowed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  DiligentCore/CMakeLists.txt:464 (install_combined_static_lib)

I searched and found that it seems we should change $<CONFIG> to $<CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR>. (https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2014-August/058375.html). I tried and this works for me.

I'm not sure whether this is the correct solution, so I create this issue.

The correct solution is to update CMake to the latest version

OK. Maybe the build guide should be updated. It says cmake 3.16 or later is required, so I just use cmake 3.16.
