This two errors may be related. Also, how do I change the build type from debug to Release? --config Release did nit work or I may be using it incorrectly.

The "no project() command" is just a warning, this was a change in a (somewhat) recent cmake version for toplevel CMakeLists.txt files where a project() command must exist right after cmake_minimum_required(), I changed this in some projects, but not all (e.g. here: https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt).

But this is just a warning, the error is something different, there's a cmake macro called oryol_begin_unittes which apparently can't be found, this is defined here:

https://github.com/floooh/oryol/blob/15de929fd8ec5c75c0742ae92a3ff865003f2239/fips-files/include.cmake#L214-L266

...and this was moved there beginning of last year because I removed the integrated unit testing support in fips and moved this into projects.

Is your Oryol checkout on the master branch and uptodate? Because I can't reproduce the problem on a fresh checkout (at least the samples using the oryol-animation module work, I'm seeing a compilation error in Bullet with the latest Apple clang version though, but that's unrelated to the problem you're seeing).

Thanks for the response. I don't even have Oryol, it was downloaded as a dependency when building the samples. This is what U did, there is an error which I missed before:

Yeah up until this point it works as expected (oryol is pulled in by fips as dependency), but those errors are basically bit-rot (python2 vs python3 compatibility problems, and the turbobadger looks like that Visual Studio (I guess) accepted the GCC pragma in older versions but now warns about it, or maybe I changed the default warning settings in fips in the meantime).
