Help Building

[hbtalha]

Could someone assist me building this sdk, I have been wanting to use it for months but I still can't build it, on windows. Every time I try I face so many error that makes me give up. I have tried build it with Visual Studio, msys2 and right now with QtCreator, in all of them, countless errors come up and every time I find a "solution" other errors come up, or even that "solution" brings more errors. It's quite fustrating, for a beginner I guess. I have followed all the instructions in all the README files I found.

It would be great if someone could assist right from the very start and maybe, this far-fetch but, could it be over TeamViewer or Discord.

for windows, please use the build_from_scratch.cmake script, follow the instructions at the top of it. Please make sure you get the latest version of the SDK first. thanks

I tried that as well, I got stuck at :

....
The following packages will be built and installed:
    asio[core]:x64-windows-mega -> 1.18.0
Error: vcpkg has crashed; no additional details are available.
The source line is C:\a\1\s\src\vcpkg\vcpkgpaths.cpp(1104)

Command failed with result code 1. Command was: vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows-mega asio

Don't use vcpkg, just use cmake directly, make sure you have downloaded the thirdparty dependancies. If you still don't manage find me on discord, I will directly help you.

[mattw-mega]

vcpkg.exe is of course vcpkg by microsoft, strange that it would crash. However I see you're trying to build under mingw, no need for that, just build in regular cmd shell or powershell. Probably vcpkg will behave better in those. thanks

[hbtalha]

@kenkit hi, I would like direct help on discord since I am still not able to get it done. I guess I have sent you a friend request on discord, my id is HBatalha#2402

[kenkit]

@hbtalha adding you just incase you couldn't find me, I assume you never managed to fix the problem.

[hbtalha]

@kenkit yeah I couldn't fix the problem. I just accepted your request on Discord.
