Windwos 11 Visual Studio 22 Cmake Build Problem

[ghost]

Hello.

At root of fresh master branch git clone I've executed a command

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win64

I've got an error

CMake Warning:
  No source or binary directory provided.  Both will be assumed to be the
  same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
  become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:2 (cmake_policy):
  Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

How to fix it?

And, generally writing, I want just compile example and run one of them.

How to get this without IDE? Cmake must be enough.

I'm still on VS2019, where CMake works out of the box without an IDE. The error states something about a missing config, so did you try explicitly selecting e.g. a debug config? nd what CMake version are you using?

Thanks for reply,

latest just downloaded cmake, latest visual studion and the last commit from the current repo.

Can please suggest what you mean by debug config?

You should use "-A x64" if you are trying to target 64bit. Win64 means nothing to CMake afaik

As @MattGuerrette noticed, the syntax for newer VS versions is slightly different. I have updated the build instructions accordingly.
