Potential Error in Windows MSVC Build Process #2117

Closed Dravid346 closed 1 month ago

Dravid346 commented 1 month ago

While following the build instructions in the wiki, I encountered an error when using CMake. In step 6, when I clicked "Configure", I got errors saying "Permission Denied". I was able to find a simple solution online, but I believe addressing the potential error and providing a fix within the wiki would help developers more easily build the game from source. I propose adding the following line under step 6:

* You may get "Permission Denied" errors. If this happens, try running CMake as administrator.

If this is acceptable, I'd like to add it myself as my first contribution.

There's also a typo in line 16 where "with" is spelled "whith".

The wiki build instructions are community driven, you are free to edit those. I also just added a note that MSVC builds are not something I put effort in to support. People are free to do so, and I will accept patches if something is broken for MSVC specifically, but I won't go out of my way to test this specific build platform.

The recommended/supported method of building on/for windows is the cross compile on WSL method.
