Project load failing in Visual Studio 2017 #46

Closed fcbertoldi closed 6 years ago

fcbertoldi commented 6 years ago

When building the project with Visual Studio 2017 I had the following error (translated, original message was in portuguese):

src\Glitter\Build\vc15\Glitter.vcxproj : error  : unable to load project with duplicated itens: src\Glitter\CMakeLists.txt is included as 'CustomBuild' and 'None' types.

Removing ${PROJECT_CONFIGS} from the list of sources in add_executable solves the problem.

PC settings: Windows 10 version 1803 CMake version: 3.11.0. Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7.2

Hmm. I can't recall having tried with VS2017 yet. Are you using Community Edition?

This week is a bit of a mess for me, but I can try to take a look at this over the weekend. 😬

That's fine, I just wanted to report the problem, no need to hurry. 🙂

The problem occurred in both VS2013 and VS2017 Professional Edition.

In my home PC with VS2017 Community Edition I applied the fix without first reproducing the problem, and it worked.

Hm, I wasn't able to reproduce this locally. I did some research online -- looks like this is actually a CMake bug. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind updating your cmake installation and trying again?

For what it's worth, ${PROJECT_CONFIGS} is only needed if you want CMakeLists.txt and Readme.md and such to show in the Solution Explorer. If you don't need to modify those much, your workaround is probably fine. 🙂

Closing for now, per my previous comment, and there has not been an update in a while. Feel free to reopen if this comes up again. 🙂
