I think the previous warning which about cmake version can be ignored, but libjpeg confuse me. I continue to make and get the following error：

RC2135; file not found: char; zlib;zconf.h.included; 368
RC2135; file not found: unsigned; zlib;zconf.h.included; 370
RC2135; file not found: typedef; zlib;zconf.h.included; 371

I wonder if you could help me with this

Hello, How are you building via CMake? Are you building via the command line (and with Linux emulator?), using the CMake GUI, or within VisualStudio itself? The way that I have built on Windows is using the CLion IDE as described here: https://baileylab.ucdavis.edu/software/helios/_dependent_software.html. I can give the method you are using a try. It may be useful for other users in the future as well to have different ways of building on Windows, we just don't use Windows very often so it has not been as well explored.

Yes, I using CMake GUI. And after tew days tring, now I succeed compiling tutorial0, but other sample till has some problem. I would try clion, thanks. My approach was to recompile libjepg myself in Windows, replacing libjepg-9a in the core folder
