Cannot build

[elect86]

Hi,

I'm not experienced with C/C++ environments.. however whenever I tried to execute a build script, I get always the following:

PS C:\Users\elect\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\ImWindow\scripts> & '.\build 2017 and single file format.bat'

C:\Users\elect\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\ImWindow\scripts>build --with-sff vs2017
Downloading genie...
Invoke-WebRequest : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Studio'.

'genie.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Any idea?

I think it's because of spaces in the project path, i reproduced it, but not resolving it yet.

FIxed in 0616a65bb58ff4b129c495e2d1dff3d376b781a9, say me if it's ok for you.

And the build script is only for generate the Visual Studio solution. After you need to open it from the folder .project

Ok, I successfully run build 2017.bat

Opened the solution, changed the sdk, 32 or 64 bits doesn't mind, I always get the following:

You probably don't initialize imgui submodule.

[elect86]

and how am I suppose to do that?

[thennequin]

Search on Google how to initialize submodule of git repository.

thanks, fixed, I created a pull request for adding a little howto in the readme :)
