Need help on building klogg-continuous on Windows

[Young Eum]

Hi,

I am an entry-level programmer trying to learn more about coding and have been trying to build the developer version of klogg on my computer for a few days. Could anyone help me out?

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10; downloaded QT 5.15.2; using cmake 3.18 provided by Visual Studio 2019.

I am not sure what I did wrong so I am listing what I entered in my command line as I was following "BUILD.md":

1. $ call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\Tools\vsdevcmd" -arch=x64

2. $ c:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\bin\qtenv2.bat

3. this step was not in the direction given by "BUILD.md" but step 2 gave me an output saying "Remember to call vcvarsall.bat to complete environment setup!" so I did so:

$ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86

4. $ cd <path_to_project_root>

$ md build_root

$ cd build_root

5. $ cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..

this gave me "CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 16 2019 Win64"

These are the list of generators:

Generators

* Visual Studio 16 2019        = Generates Visual Studio 2019 project files.

                                 Use -A option to specify architecture.

  Visual Studio 15 2017 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2017 project files.

                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".

6. so I remove "Win64" and added -A x64 instead

$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..

and then cmake was executed and every test at the end of the cmake except for Test "CFLAG_Wall" failed.

Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I am happy to give more detail if needed.

Thank you for the help!

Hi,

Sorry for replying so late. If you still have issues building klogg please contact me directly via mail or open discussion in Github (https://github.com/variar/klogg/discussions). BUILD.md might be somewhat out of date with newest cmake/Visual Studio versions. 

Regards,
