How to build a project on MSVC 2022?

[JordanCpp]

Greetings.

Please write instructions for compiling the project.

FetchContent_Declare(zlib GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/madler/zlib" GIT_TAG "v1.2.11" )

This does not work.

I was able to build the project using cmake integrated into VS2022 by changing "generator" field in CMakeSettings.json to "Visual Studio 17 2022" for both configurations, everything else worked right away.

As a side note, after every commit a new build is generated and can be downloaded here. So unless someone wants to actually write their own code, it's not necessary to compile the files manually.

@JordanCpp do you have git installed and is it in your PATH system variable? If not you will get an error message like this.

1> [CMake] CMake Error at C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:2666 (message):
1> [CMake]   error: could not find git for clone of fpattern-populate

1> [CMake]   CMakeLists.txt:23 (ExternalProject_Add)
1> [CMake] -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

If that's not the issue you should post the actual error message you get.

Apparently you don't have git installed. Open up Visual Studio Installer, click Modify, on the Individual components tab find Git for Windows. Also you'll probably need to switch to Ninja in CMakeSettings.json.
